Question

I’m developing a Java web app in which in some cases i have to display the content of an incoming mail. It can be any type of mail (plain, multipart).

As you can guess i had no problem with text/plain or with text/html. I even managed to display the text part of a multipart email. But…

The problem comes when i’d like to display inline images and/or handling attachments (make them downloadable).

Basically i’m looking for a framework that would help my work by parsing the mail to a format (?) which is easier to handle or even display.

Please note currently i’m not looking for help on the java mail API in general. I simply don’t wish to implement this on my own.

Thanks in advance!
Dave
