Saving e-mails generated by Seam

[rhasselbaum]

Is there a way I can get access to the rendered HTML of a Seam-generated e-mail? I want store a record of it on the server. I thought this would be the string that Renderer.render returns, but that only contains an XML header.

Not a direct answer to the question but you could put an archive-mailbox on your bcc list...

I considered that, but it doesn't accomplish what I want to do. I want to be able to retrieve the e-mail later via the web site.

Well, if you write this imap-view against your mailbox... ;-)

Does it have to be an exact snapshot through the template? Otherwise you could just store away the information in the template...

Thanks for your reply. I know there are other ways to achieve the same effect, but the easiest solution is for me to to get a handle to the rendered HTML (or e-mail payload) directly through Seam if that's possible. If it's not possible, then I'll look at other options.

You would need to configure javamail to write to a output stream. If this is possible, then yes, and we can write a hook into Seam. File a feature request in JIRA.
