[jira] Commented: (EMAIL-56) [Email] Parsing MIME content.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-56?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12469622 ]
Ben Speakmon commented on EMAIL-56:
-----------------------------------
One of the MimeMessage constructors in JavaMail (both 1.3 and 1.4) already does this, BTW.
I'm not sure this is something that falls within commons-email's scope. The commons-email API, I think, is for the common cases where you just want to build and send an email without needing the power (or complexity) of JavaMail. If you're already pulling messages from an email server, I don't know why you wouldn't just use JavaMail for manipulating it -- the power and complexity is just what you need for those kinds of jobs. And it doesn't seem worth the trouble to duplicate any of that code in commons-email when the existing code works just fine.
If you can suggest a compelling use case for this, I can look further into it.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: Operating System: Windows XP
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: Jose M. Ordax
> Priority: Minor

> This is not a bug, it is a Feature Request.
> It should be nice if the framework implements a way to create a MultiPartMessage
> from an InputStream or a String with all the content of a real message got from
> a POP3 or NNTP server.
> Currently it seems you have to create it manually adding headers and parts via
> methods. And I think in this way is not really useful.
