Hi Jeremie and all,
Note that currently mailsender is used quite a lot by standard XWiki
Enterprise features like "send page by email", "invitation", "registration".
I agree that the mailsender code could be merged with your own component
that currently handles reading emails.
Any other opinion on the mail I sent before. I'd like to publish the code
that generates vcalendar invitations because it could be used in many areas
but without the mailsender modifications it cannot work and rewriting a
mail code that handles vcalendar is tough:
So what would be the approach to add a vcalendar part in emails sent by the
current mailsender ? Can I propose my patches that add the following API:
public int sendHtmlMessage(String from, String to, String cc, String bcc,
String subject, String body,
String alternative, String calendar, List<Attachment> attachments)
which is derived from
public int sendHtmlMessage(String from, String to, String cc, String bcc,
String subject, String body,
String alternative, List<Attachment> attachments)
Note that this API should actually be:
public int sendHtmlMessage(String from, String to, String cc, String bcc,
String subject, String html,
String alternativeText, List<Attachment> attachments)
As this is the way the fields are used since there is no way to change the
content type of the emails from these APIs
