Howdy folks -

I searched the archives and I've puzzled over this for a while without
success.
 
I have an SMTP appender (below) that I am adding to the root logger. Log4j
1.2.8 is bootrapped from Spring 1.1, then the other appenders are configured
in an ApplicationLog utility class (also created by Spring). This runs great
inside Tomcat 4 & 5 locally -- it sends a nicely formatted error mesg upon
startup. 
 
However, when I deploy into my integration environment (Tomcat 4.1 as part
of the Borland Enterprise Server), the email is sent with an empty mesg.
body. 
 
I had added the latest activation.jar to my web-inf/lib and that seemed to
correct the problem...for a few days. But again, I can see the ERROR mesg in
the file appender, and I receive an email, but the body is empty. 
 
I notice that the local version come across as plaintext, but the
integration server seems send HTML -- perhaps a red herring, but I'm
grasping for any differences between the two. 
 
Ideas?
 
Thanks,
Tim
