Hi Danny,
Thanks a ton for the help. I was successful to delete the attachment. Here's
how I did it:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
try{
System.out.println("***Attachment deletion block started ***");
MimeMessage message = mail.getMessage();
MimeMultipart mmp = (MimeMultipart)message.getContent();
for (int i=0; i<mmp.getCount(); i++){
MimeBodyPart mbp=(MimeBodyPart)mmp.getBodyPart(i);
System.out.println("body part " + mmp.getBodyPart(i));
if(hasToBeRemoved(mbp)) {
System.out.println("attachment name matches 'credentials.txt'" +
+would be removed");
mmp.removeBodyPart(i);
i--;
}
}
message.setContent(mmp);
message.saveChanges();
}catch(IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Exception caught while creating a new " +
"instance of MimeMultipart" + ioe);
}
System.out.println("***Attachment deletion block ended ***");
.
.
.
public boolean hasToBeRemoved(MimeBodyPart mbp){
try{
String disposition = mbp.getDisposition();
if ((disposition !=null) && (disposition.equals(Part.ATTACHMENT))){
if (mbp.getFileName().equalsIgnoreCase("credentials.txt")){
System.out.println(mbp.getFileName());
System.out.println("Credentials file will be removed");
return true;
}
}
}catch (Exception ex){
System.out.println("Ex caught ");
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hasToBeRemoved() method checks for the file name with the help of
getFileName() and compares it with the string I supplied. hasToBeRemoved()
method returns true if comparison is succeeds.
Thnkx,

Gaurav,
I really think you need to study JavaMail to answer these questions.
Try creating a new MimeMultipart and copying only those parts you want to
retain to the new multipart from the old one.
Then set the new one as the content of the message and save changes.
Or just modify the attachement and save changes.
