Commons e-mail attachments
Hi,
I create pdf documents in memory and want to attach
them to outgoing e-mails. I cannot find a way to do it
with the EmailAttachment object, I currectly use
HtmlEmail.embed(ByteArrayDataSource) for that. It
works, but my mail client (Thunderbird) doesn't show
the attachment icon next to the mail in the inbox. I
have to open the e-mail and then see the attachment at
the bottom.
Is this a problem with Thunderbird, or indeed because
the attachment is embedded and not really attached? If
the latter, how can I properly attach it?
Thanks
Charl

Hi Charl,
have you checked
MultiPartEmail.attach(javax.activation.DataSource ds, java.lang.String
name, java.lang.String description, java.lang.String disposition)
this is what I'm using to attach a PDF document
Cheers,
