Classes specific to Internet mail systems.
This package supports features that are specific to Internet mail systems
based on the MIME standard
(RFC 2045,
RFC 2046, and
RFC 2047).
The IMAP, SMTP, and POP3 protocols use
MimeMessages
.
The JavaMail API specification requires support for the following properties,
which must be set in the System
properties.
The properties are always set as strings; the Type column describes
how the string is interpreted. For example, use (in J2SE 1.2 and newer)
System.setProperty("mail.mime.address.strict", "false");to set the
mail.mime.address.strict
property,
which is of type boolean.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
mail.mime.address.strict | boolean |
The mail.mime.address.strict session property controls
the parsing of address headers. By default, strict parsing of address
headers is done. If this property is set to "false" ,
strict parsing is not done and many illegal addresses that sometimes
occur in real messages are allowed. See the InternetAddress
class for details.
|
mail.mime.charset | String |
The mail.mime.charset System property can
be used to specify the default MIME charset to use for encoded words
and text parts that don't otherwise specify a charset. Normally, the
default MIME charset is derived from the default Java charset, as
specified in the file.encoding System property. Most
applications will have no need to explicitly set the default MIME
charset. In cases where the default MIME charset to be used for
mail messages is different than the charset used for files stored on
the system, this property should be set.
|
mail.mime.decodetext.strict | boolean |
The mail.mime.decodetext.strict property controls
decoding of MIME encoded words. The MIME spec requires that encoded
words start at the beginning of a whitespace separated word. Some
mailers incorrectly include encoded words in the middle of a word.
If the mail.mime.decodetext.strict System property is
set to "false" , an attempt will be made to decode these
illegal encoded words. The default is true.
|
mail.mime.encodeeol.strict | boolean |
The mail.mime.encodeeol.strict property controls the
choice of Content-Transfer-Encoding for MIME parts that are not of
type "text". Often such parts will contain textual data for which
an encoding that allows normal end of line conventions is appropriate.
In rare cases, such a part will appear to contain entirely textual
data, but will require an encoding that preserves CR and LF characters
without change. If the mail.mime.encodeeol.strict
System property is set to "true" , such an encoding will
be used when necessary. The default is false.
|
mail.mime.decodefilename | boolean |
If set to "true" , the getFileName method
uses the MimeUtility
method decodeText to decode any
non-ASCII characters in the filename. Note that this decoding
violates the MIME specification, but is useful for interoperating
with some mail clients that use this convention.
The default is false.
|
mail.mime.encodefilename | boolean |
If set to "true" , the setFileName method
uses the MimeUtility
method encodeText to encode any
non-ASCII characters in the filename. Note that this encoding
violates the MIME specification, but is useful for interoperating
with some mail clients that use this convention.
The default is false.
|
mail.mime.decodeparameters | boolean |
If set to "true" , non-ASCII parameters in a
ParameterList , e.g., in a Content-Type header,
will be encoded as specified by
RFC 2231.
The default is false.
|
mail.mime.encodeparameters | boolean |
If set to "true" , non-ASCII parameters in a
ParameterList , e.g., in a Content-Type header,
will be decoded as specified by
RFC 2231.
The default is false.
|
mail.mime.multipart. ignoremissingendboundary | boolean |
Normally, when parsing a multipart MIME message, a message that is
missing the final end boundary line is not considered an error.
The data simply ends at the end of the input. Note that messages
of this form violate the MIME specification. If the property
mail.mime.multipart.ignoremissingendboundary is set
to false , such messages are considered an error and a
MesagingException will be thrown when parsing such a
message.
|
mail.mime.multipart. ignoremissingboundaryparameter | boolean |
If the Content-Type header for a multipart content does not have
a boundary parameter, the multipart parsing code
will look for the first line in the content that looks like a
boundary line and extract the boundary parameter from the line.
If this property is set to "false" , a
MessagingException will be thrown if the Content-Type
header doesn't specify a boundary parameter.
The default is true.
|
The following properties are supported by Sun's implementation of
JavaMail, but are not currently a required part of the specification.
As above, these must be set as System
properties.
The names, types, defaults, and semantics of these properties may
change in future releases.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
mail.mime.base64.ignoreerrors | boolean |
If set to "true" , the BASE64 decoder will ignore errors
in the encoded data, returning EOF. This may be useful when dealing
with improperly encoded messages that contain extraneous data at the
end of the encoded stream. Note however that errors anywhere in the
stream will cause the decoder to stop decoding so this should be used
with extreme caution. The default is false.
|
mail.mime.foldtext | boolean |
If set to "true" , header fields containing just text
such as the Subject and Content-Description
header fields, and long parameter values in structured headers such
as Content-Type will be folded (broken into 76 character lines)
when set and unfolded when read. The default is true.
|
mail.mime.setcontenttypefilename | boolean |
If set to "true" , the setFileName method
will also set the name parameter on the Content-Type
header to the specified filename. This supports interoperability with
some old mail clients. The default is true.
|
mail.mime.setdefaulttextcharset | boolean |
When updating the headers of a message, a body
part with a text content type but no charset
parameter will have a charset parameter added to it
if this property is set to "true" .
The default is true.
|
mail.mime.applefilenames | boolean |
Apple Mail incorrectly encodes filenames that contain spaces,
forgetting to quote the parameter value. If this property is
set to "true" , JavaMail will try to detect this
situation when parsing parameters and work around it.
The default is false.
|
mail.alternates | String |
A string containing other email addresses that the current user is known by.
The MimeMessage reply method will eliminate any
of these addresses from the recipient list in the message it constructs,
to avoid sending the reply back to the sender.
|
mail.replyallcc | boolean |
If set to "true" , the MimeMessage
reply method will put all recipients except the original
sender in the Cc list of the newly constructed message.
Normally, recipients in the To header of the original
message will also appear in the To list of the newly
constructed message.
