sample code for getting message body & attachments

[jhudson]

Hello,

Could you point me to some sample code for getting the email body and attachments from a org.jboss.mail.message.Mail object? Or, if you could tell me (if this is possible) how I could get a javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage object? Thanks very much in advance.

Have a look at the org.jboss.mail.userapi code, in particular the MailSender class. This is what the webmail uses to create/send email.

Also, you might find something worthwhile in the org.jboss.mail.pop3.handlers package, in particular the CmdRETR class, which is (I believe) what the POP3 code uses to stream a message to a POP3 client.

I've looked at everything I can find (MailSenderImpl class and CmdRETR and org.jboss.mail.userapi) and I know I'm missing something obvious but I can't find any examples of getting message body content or attachments from a org.jboss.mail.message.Mail object. Does anybody have any other examples I might be able to look at? Thank you very much.

The writeMessage method in CmdRETR is useful as a start.

Last I checked, the JBCS mail client doesn't do any processing with the mail, so there's no code to get attachments, etc.

You can use writeMessage then create a ByteArrayInputStream which you can then use to create a MimeMessage object and go from there.

I noticed that there's no "Content-Transfer-Encoding" handling in the JBoss code, so you'll needed to handle that. We're using MimeUtility.decode which is ok, but still have some issues with certain emails.

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much for the reply.

I'm not a hard-core mail guy but need high quality code that can interpret the mail body and attachments. Is there anybody that would consider writing the code for a monetary amount? If so, what would you charge and would you accept a PayPal payment?

Basically, I'm not comfortable with my skills in this area to write the robust code that I desire and am willing to pay for it. Please respond to [e-mail] if anyone is interested. Thanks.

Ok, new question.. same topic:

Is there any way I could convert a org.jboss.mail.message.MailBody to a javax.mail.Multipart. And, is this something that should be done or am I missing something? Please forgive if this is a stupid question. Thanks very much for any help!
