I'm in the same boat.

To add to the issue, the problem doesn't seem to be limited to the Subject, but to the entire body of the request. A special characters in substitution tags will trigger the exception in my end.

I was looking for a way to access the Client and change the StringEntity to UTF-8 as previous solutions suggests for the API version 2.3.1 fix of this issue (sendgrid/java-http-client#4), but I could not find a way to access or re-initialize it.

Has anyone found a temporal fix?

@wendellrios @jpockels,

To verify, this update (https://github.com/sendgrid/java-http-client/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#231---2016-07-08) did not fix the issue?

I've been using the built jar file from the Readme (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sendgrid/sendgrid-java/3.0.3/sendgrid-java-3.0.3-jar.jar). If I am correct, It looks like this jar is outdated and does not has the update that fixes the issue.

Thanks for the update @jpockels,

That should be the latest code with the right dependency: https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-java/blob/master/build.gradle#L48

There must be an issue with the packaging. I'm going to leave this ticket open as a bug for further investigation.

Meanwhile, here is a fresh build: sendgrid-3.0.3-jar.jar.zip

@thinkingserious @jpockels thanks! I'm in a hurry right now but will test updated jar later.

@thinkingserious

Tested the build you provided in your last comment, but the issue persists.

The checksums are the exact same for both jars too (Readme linked Jar and your new fresh build) .

@jpockels,

Thanks for the confirmation, there must be some issue with the build process. I'll have to dig deeper.

@wendellrios @jpockels,

Thanks for your patience on this.

When the upload to Maven is finally confirmed, this link will contain the fat jar: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sendgrid/sendgrid-java/3.0.4/sendgrid-java-3.0.4-jar.jar

[jpockels]

Thank you very much @thinkingserious. I'll be testing again and will let you know.

[thinkingserious]

Upload to Maven complete. I tested it on my side and it looks great. Thanks again!
