MimeMessage emails - create a "in-reply" email - email

Currently , I'm recieving emails with my server(imap through spring framework)
the messages i recieve are of type MimeMessage.
lets say i now got a new email (X)
I would like to create a new MimeMessage (Y) that in it's body it will say that this email is in response (reply) to (X)
how can i do this?
p.s the (Y) message is going to be sent from a different SMTP url later on, so X and Y are not related.
thanks.

Simply create the new message and set its content to whatever you want - presumably something like...
"In Reply To:\n\n" + copied_text_content_from_received_message;
However, be aware that the inbound content might have various formats, including multipart (see JavaDoc for MimeMessage.getContent().

Start with the Message.reply method. Fill in the content of this new Message as suggested in the other answer here.

change recipient / attach a file to a sent email in outlook

I've been trying to test something out, basically looking to do one of the following things:
Change name of recipient in a sent file. I've tried using Outlook Spy (great tool) but every time I changed the recipient in PR_DISPLAY_TO_W it returned the following error:
Could not edit the property: HrSetOneProp returned MAPL_E_COMPUTED
Attaching a file to a sent email file. (I don't know if this one is possible, but would be useful if it was.)
I appreciate any responses.
PR_DISPLAY_TO / CC / BCC are computed properties. The store provider updates them whenever recipients list is modified.
Use the MailItem.Recipients collection to modify the recipients.
MailItem.Attachments.Add.

how to notice if a mail is a forwarded mail?

I have a very special problem.
If we create a mail in Outlook, we add a UserProperty which contains a DataBase-ID of our System, so we can Link the mail to the representing DataBase-Item. On the service which reads the mails in each Mailbox and imports them automatically I can read this property by using ExtendedPropertyDefinitions. So far everything is fine...
If the User now forwards the message in Outlook, Olk copies the UserProperty to the new message. And now my problems beginn. Now my Service thinks the new message is also linked to our database and updates DB-Entry with the new Body and new Subject.
So does anyone now how to find out if a message is a forwarded one or how to tell Outlook not to copy the userproperty to the forwarded (new) message?
thx. Jay
What we thought about, but isnt working for our case
- a second userproperty containing a simple tag linke "fromSystem". Cause this would be copied too.
- a second userproperty containing a hashsum calculated from subject and Body. Cause both could be changed by the user. We just create the message, add all properties and Display it. from this Point on we no longer have control what is Happening to the mail until the Service handles it.
Your service consuming EWS should check the ConversationIndex and only update the database if it's 22 bytes long (original source message). Forward emails and reply emails keep appending 5 bytes (10 chars) to the ConversationIndex extending it beyond 22 bytes.
Sample ConversationIndexes
Original: 01CDD15D80E51C1D4522172840ACA96287DA28A15D97
Reply: 01CDD15D80E51C1D4522172840ACA96287DA28A15D970000018630
Forward: 01CDD15D80E51C1D4522172840ACA96287DA28A15D970000018630000000FC30
ConversationIndex represents the sequential ordering of the ConversationTopic (essentially GUID + timestamp). See Working with Conversations on MSDN. ConversationIndex is explicitly defined on MSDN here.
if (message.ConversationIndex.Length == 22)
{
// update DB body, subject, etc.
}
Also make sure you load the EmailMessageSchema.ConversationIndex before trying to access its value.

Change the sender for an external email in SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function

I'm using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function to send an email with an attachment both for a sap user and for an external email. So far, so good. I discovered that the sender of these emails is the sap user that fired the report and the function doesn't have the sender exportation parameter like the old SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 has. The problem is that I need the sender to be an external email. I've been searching and couldn't make this happen. Can anyone help or give me an idea? Thanks
As I have already stated in an answer to another question of yours, stop using the old API and use the new BCS API. The documentation contains an example on how to change the sender address:
DATA: lr_send_request TYPE REF TO cl_bcs,
lr_sender TYPE REF TO cl_cam_address_bcs.
lr_sender = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( 'foo.bar#baz.com' ).
lr_send_request->set_sender( lr_sender ).
Just try to copy the example report BCS_EXAMPLE_1 to your local namespace and exchange the line that sets the sender (line 50 in my release, might be a different one on your system).

sendmailR: Submit encoded message to local SMTP server

I need your help in order to send email message that includes text in Greek, from within R, using the function sendmail {sendmailR}.
I tried using the function iconv, like that but it didn't work
subject <- iconv("text in greek", to = "CP1253")
sendmail(from, to, subject, msg, control=list(smtpServer="blabla"))
The mail arrives immediately but the greek characters are unreadable. Any ideas?
EDIT
Another question that came up:
The second argument to accepts one recipient. What if want to send it to more than one? (I think 'll try sapply ing the sendmail function to a vector of recipients) - Ok, that worked. However, I'm not completely satisfied because each one of the recipients has no way to know who else has received the message.
Mail client won't be able to understand any encoding without Content-Type: charset=..., so you must add it:
msg<-iconv("text in greek", to = "utf8");
sendmail(from, to, subject, msg,
control=list(smtpServer="blabla"),
headers=list("Content-Type"="text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed")
);
that is for UTF8 (which I believe should be used), for CP1253:
msg<-iconv("text in greek", to = "CP1253");
sendmail(from, to, subject, msg,
control=list(smtpServer="blabla"),
headers=list("Content-Type"="text/plain; charset=CP1253; format=flowed")
);
multisend by hidden copies can also be done with header magick, still I think sapply loop is a better idea -- then the user will see that the mail was send directly to her/himself.

Using the Microsoft SMTP Server's Dropfolder

I have set up Microsoft SMTP server so it will store all incoming email in a dropfolder.
I want to process, using c#, incoming mail based on the sender, recipient, and subject line. If possible, I also want to create a plain text preview of the email.
So, there are two parts to this problem.
I'm guessing a FileSystemWatcher
would be adequate for providing
notification of incoming mail.
How to parse the headers and body text from the .eml file; is there an existing library or any good documentation on the format?
Thanks for any help.
Yes - thats true
I used this: http://www.lumisoft.ee/lswww/ENG/Products/Mail_Server/mail_index_eng.aspx?type=info
It's a Mailserver written in C# with an API you can use without using the Mailserver
EDIT: Found a code snippet:
LumiSoft.Net.Mime.Mime m = LumiSoft.Net.Mime.Mime.Parse(mailfile);
Console.WriteLine("Read message from: " + m.MainEntity.From);
Console.WriteLine("To: " + m.MainEntity.To[0]);
