Add support for other mail parsing APIs such as mime4j
------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAILET-17
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILET-17
Project: Mailet
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core API
Reporter: Markus Wiederkehr
Currently the interface Mail is described as a wrapper around a MimeMessage
with routing information. For various reasons it would be nice if the user
could decide what mail API to use.
This could be accomplished by simply adding a method to retrieve the raw input
stream of the message. The user can then use a mime4j parser or whatever API is
best fitting to parse the input stream.
Implementing such a method in James shouldn't be too difficult since
org.apache.james.core.MimeMessageSource already has a method to retrieve the
raw input stream.
setMessage() would also have to be accompanied by a method to overwrite the raw
content of the message. Preferably this method could return an output stream
where the raw data can be written to.
Example code snippet of desired use case:
class MyMailet {
public void service(Mail mail) {
org.apache.james.mime4j.message.Message message = new
Message(mail.getRawInputStream());
message = manipulateMessage(message);
message.writeTo(mail.getRawOutputStream(), MessageUtils.LENIENT);
}
}
