Javax mail internet mimemessage

A very specific and technical question!

javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage is a class in the JavaMail API that represents a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) message. MIME is a standard for formatting email messages and other Internet media types.

In JavaMail, MimeMessage is a subclass of MimePart and is used to create and manipulate email messages. It provides methods for setting various attributes of the message, such as the sender, recipient, subject, and body.

Here are some key features of MimeMessage:

1. MIME headers: MimeMessage provides methods for setting and getting MIME headers, such as getFrom(), getRecipients(), getSubject(), and getContentType().
2. MIME body: MimeMessage provides methods for setting and getting the MIME body of the message, such as setText(), setHTMLText(), and setContent().
3. Multipart messages: MimeMessage supports multipart messages, which allow you to send multiple parts (e.g., text, images, attachments) in a single message.
4. Encoding: MimeMessage provides methods for setting the encoding of the message, such as setEncoding().

Here's an example of how you might use MimeMessage to create a simple text email:

import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import javax.mail.Session;

// Create a session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(new Properties());

// Create a MimeMessage
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);

// Set the sender and recipient
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));

// Set the subject
msg.setSubject("Hello, World!");

// Set the text body
msg.setText("This is a test email.");

// Send the message
Transport.send(msg);
