The message: "Failed to initialise MIME mail" usually comes when Ant can't
find Sun's JavaMail API in the ANT_HOME/lib directory. In case ant doesn't
find activation.jar and mail.jar in those directory it uses its own
implementation for sending mail. Maybe you use some old version of
actvation.jar and mail.jar? Or maybe the content type of your message is not
text/plain?
