Sure, using a stand alone client to send works fine since the client is generating the entire MIME message. But what about using the JBCS client? Or, more for what we are doing, what about using the MailSender MBean to send emails?

Our JBAS app has email features so we have a small web email client we wrote to send messages as well as Quartz jobs to send automated messages. Using the Jakarta commons email packages makes it easy to create HTML emails, but it's just a wrapper around javax.mail messages.

I understand some of the limitations of javax.mail, so I was wondering what I could use to create a MIME message that the MBean can send - or how to get a javax.mail message sent via JBCS.

This is more of a "client" issue, but since JBCS has a client, I figure maybe someone has an idea.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Andrew. I just looked at the Mail create methods and see I can pass an InputStream. I will try that when I get a chance.

Thanks!
