Q: Getting email message body - TDK 2.3

["EXT-McTaggart, Peter" <pe...@boeing.com>]

Hi,

I am using Turbine TDK 2.3  and
org.apache.turbine.util.velocity.VelocityHtmlEmail to send emails from
my application.
This works very well. 
However I would like to capture the email message (just thet body) and
save it once it has been compiled and sent.

I've looked through the java docs and there doesn't seem to be anyway to
get hold of the message after it has been
processed by Velocity. I've tried to expose the getMessage() method from
one of the commons email parent classes but it simply returns
a null.

Can anyone suggest a way of doing this? or an alternative. I would
rather not CC my app and have it monitor a mbox to get hold of the
message.

Thanks
Peter

I've created a wrapper class to handle this type of situation for my email 
deliveries. Fairly easy to just extend the class adding a new getMessage() 
and setMessage() method so that it does what you want and you don't have 
to keep trying to make the email classes do things they weren't meant to 
do. 

My wrapper class just extends the basic o.a.t.u.SimpleEmail and 
SimpleHtmlEmail classes, but if you would me to send you a copy, I would 
be happy to. Should be easy to wrap for VelocityEmail as well
