Yes, I'll have the keys.  I'm still trying to find out from the customer what kind of 
encryption it is, I have to go there tomorrow so I should have more of a clue.

I'm building a server to process mails - it needs to read them and then use a java 
based service provided by our back end to load the information onto the database.

Last time I looked at PGP from Java, for encrypting an email to send out using a 
public key, I ended up shelling out to a Unix PGP command because I couldn't find any 
good quality PGP libraries for Java.

Are there any alternatives to doing this via JAMES?  I couldn't think of any other 
good ways to get hold of the text of the message.  I have to process the text using 
Java (or I add weeks to my project to reimplement the middle java layer!).

Is it possible in JAMES to chain mailets to the first one decrypts the mail and saves 
it back modified and the second one then automatically picks up the decrypted mail?  
Or is it more complicated than that?

Cheers,

Tim.
