Should be the same as the first Element which will be reported through
the first startElement() call in SAX.

Hey there Sandeep!

Unfortunately the DOCTYPE is not reported as the first element. What you 
need to do it write your own LexicalHandler. You implement the 
LexicalHandler interface in a class and it defines a method

startDTD(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String publicId, java.lang.String 
systemId)

like so:

import org.xml.sax.ext.*;
public class MyLexicalHandler implements LexicalHandler
{
   public void startDTD(String name, String publicId, String systemId) 
throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
   {
     System.out.println("Got the DTD: " + name + sep);
     if(publicId==null)
       System.out.println("\tType SYSTEM: " + systemId);
     else
       System.out.println("\tType PUBLIC: " + publicId);
   }
   public void endDTD() throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
   {
   }
   public void startEntity(String parm1) throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
   {
   }
   public void endEntity(String parm1) throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
   {
   }
   public void startCDATA() throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
   {
   }
   public void endCDATA() throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
   {
   }
   public void comment(char[] parm1, int parm2, int parm3) throws 
org.xml.sax.SAXException
   {
   }
}

Then in your mail parser class just enable the property:
       parser.setProperty("http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler", 
new MyLexicalHandler());

And you are good to go.

Have a good one!!!
