How to Set InternetAddress Personal Name
Hello,
I am having a hard time setting the InternetAddress value of PersonalName. I have done a good deal of reading and have meet with plenty of failure. Is there a line of code that someone could share?
Thanks,
Hut

Ok, makes sense.

I think this is just a typo, but I think you meant setPersonal on
myMail.getMessage().getFrom() (not getMessage()).
I'm not sure why this isn't working for you... maybe it's some strange
issue where it's updating a copy of the message's From header.
Overall though, I think you have a tough job ahead of you because of the
following:
a) creating a new message will be very hard because of the amount of
relevant headers you'd need to copy from the original to the copy.
b) modifying the original is hard because you also have to go sanitize
the Received headers, and possibly elsewhere as well. Otherwise someone
could see what your actual email address is.
Actually, the more I read your idea, the more confused I get. Why would
you change the **FROM** of a message. "Serge Knystautas"'s address
stays the same... in fact the email address I put as the TO or CC would
stay the same because it already is the "outward-facing" address,
otherwise it wouldn't have reached your company employee.

Re: How to Set InternetAddress Personal Name
Posted by Hutson Carspecken <hu...@myprivacypolicy.com>.
Serge,
Thanks so much for writing about my question! I am not completely sure
what you mean by "new InterAddress", but let me give you an example of what
I am trying to get done.
I am forwarding e-mails into our company through a gateway e-mail server. I
want to keep the original senders personal name, but I also need to attach
the name of the proxy e-mail server. So, from this e-mail, I see that the
sender is: "Serge Knystautas" <se...@lokitech.com>. I would like to
change that so a person in our company receiving e-mail from you would see
the following:
"Serge Knystautas" <em...@mycompany.com>
That is to say, the personal name would remain the original personal name,
but the e-mail address would be the recipent's own "outward-facing" email
address...the one which the original sender (in this example, yourself) used
to reach the company employee.
I am making headway with the required code and am somewhat close. Tell me
what you think of this code snippet.
String prevPersonalName;
Mail myMail = new Mail();
prevPersonalName = origMail.getMessage().getFrom().getPersonal();
myMail.getMessage().setPersonal( prevPersonalName);
Many Thanks,
Hut

Do you mean setting the PersonalName value of InternetAddress? What
about new InternetAddress("sergek@lokitech.com", "Serge Knystautas");?
