MIME part size
Hi,
First of all, sorry for addressing this question to the dev group, but I
was unable to find any mime4j user groups.
I need to get MIME part size (e.g. size of attachment/BinaryBody) but
can't figure out how to do it. At the moment I use DOM parser and then
read through part.getBody().getInputStream() to calculate its size.
Clearly this is not the best way.
Also, is it possible to get mime encoded size as well as original
(decoded) size?
PS: I'm using latest 0.7 snapshot.
Regards,
Rustam.

This might be quite difficult (or dog ugly) at the parser (core) level
but should be fairly easy at the dom level. Feel free to raise a request
in JIRA for this feature.

Thanks Oleg.
Would it be possible to add body part size calculation in 0.8? I haven't
looked into the code, but it shouldn't be too complicated since mime4j
reads through the parts anyway.

Reading through the content of a body part is the only reliable way of
finding its length.

Hi Norman,
BodyDescriptor only has getContentLength() which returns "Content
length, if known, or -1, to indicate the absence of a content-length
header".
Taking into account that most of attachment don't have content-length,
this won't be very helpful. ... or am I missing somehitng?
Thanks,
Rustam.

Hi there,
this should be possible with the BodyDescriptor.
