mailconfirm.mail.body=<html><body><h3 style="margin: 0 0 1em;">Hi, {0}!</h3>\
    To confirm your email address click on the confirmation link given bellow. If clicking on the link doesn't work, copy and paste the link in a new browser tab. <br /><br />\
    <a href="http://www.domain.com/confirm_email.html?action=activate&hash={1}">http://www.domain.com/confirm_email.html?action=activate&hash={1}</a><br /><br />\

This above is the particular message used for the code bellow.

String country = "AU";
Object[] args = new Object[] { account.getLogin(), confirm.getHash() };

helper.setText(appContext.getMessage("mailconfirm.mail.body", args,
                new Locale(country)), true);

I debugged both arguments and they both have the right values. When debuging appContext.getMessage line, I saw that the {1} param is not filled with correct value however {0} is.

Any ideas what could be wrong? I suspect it could be some locale issue.

An alternative is to use String.format, change the {X} for %s.

mailconfirm.mail.body=<html><body><h3 style="margin: 0 0 1em;">Hi, %s!</h3>\
    To confirm your email address click on the confirmation link given bellow. If clicking on the link doesn't work, copy and paste the link in a new browser tab. <br /><br />\
    <a href="http://www.domain/confirm_email.html?action=activate&hash=%s">http://www.domain/confirm_email.html?action=activate&hash=%s</a><br /><br />\

String whatEver = messageSource.getMessage("mailconfirm.mail.body", null, locale);

whatEver = String.format(whatEver,account.getLogin(), confirm.getHash() );

Hope it's useful.
