I think you need the javax.mail package. The classes there can help you get
to your mail parts and modify them etc.

Not sure if this algorithm is correct to determine attachement. Multipart
Content may be a Multipart Mixed. Maybe there is a lurking bug there.

javax.mail and javax.mail.internet would be good packages to look at. You
can get the source from Sun under SCSL license. It is part of J2EE source
distribution.

listserve, details, its all in the details
Posted by Danny Angus <da...@thought.co.uk>.
I see this in GenericListserve:
if (!isAttachmentsAllowed() && mail.getMessage().getContent() instanceof
MimeMultipart) {
getMailetContext().bounce(mail, "You cannot send attachments
to this listserv.");
mail.setState(Mail.GHOST);
return;
Does this mean that mime-type: multipart/alternative messages are canned
too? what if every part is disposition: inline, shouldn't they get through?
I asked this on the user list, but this is probably the better place:
where can I find out how to deal with MIME messages in my mailet?
I thought I'd try adding a footer to messages [in a mailet], then I came up
against MIME,
which I'm pretty cool with, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel, so my q
is what classes can I use to get at the parts of my message? are there some
in James, or another jakarta project, or do I need to source them elswhere?
(in which case I might write them after all, I've written a mime parser in
perl, it should get easier with practice!)

Ok, so I've written a new class to replace GenericListserve to suit myself
(re the prefix thing) re-compiled everything using my new class, and _lo_
it works :-) (where do I get the cigar?)
Now my next question is.. where can I find out how to deal with MIME
messages in my mailet?

Re: BUG: sending returned email

I just ment
if in James config file you set to notify postmaster on any delivery error
and you actually get error itself when sending error notification to
postmaster
it will start sending error messages to postmaster acount in a loop.
it might be if you leave default Postmaster@localhost and didn't have that
account created
or set postmaster to remote email address and it cannot be deliverer.
I thing I had the first situation when started playing with James 1.2.1
we should better have comments from James developers though...

Did you set up you Postmaster correctly?
