I also need to know how to attach a file to a MimeMessage. I have no idea how to do it. I'm guessing that you have to make a MimeBodyPart that contains the file and add it to the message, but there doesn't seem to be any method in the API to put a file in a MimeBodyPart.
Any help would be appreciated.

hi all,
u can attach a message using MimeBodyPart by doing individual Bodypart as many times as required.
MimeBodyPart mbp1= new MimeBodyPart();
MimeBodyPart mbp2= new MimeBodyPart();
Multipart mp=new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
msg.setContent(mp);

i hope this will help u.
But i have a doubt how do i get my mails from my yahoo inbox to my machine.when i tried to connect the system through pop.mail.yahoo.com and protcol as http,it throws a exception called
"NoSuchProviderException:http"
please help.
u r help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Okay. I see how you add MimeBodyParts to a MimeMultiPart, but where does the file you want to attach fit in to the picture? Can someone post a few lines of code that show how you would attach a file called "readme.txt" to a MimeMessage?
Thanks.

I found the answer to my question, and I wanted to share with others.
In the code below, msgText1 is the text that appears in the message. readme.txt is the file that is attached.
***************************************************************
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
// create and fill the first message part
MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp1.setText(msgText1);
// create the second message part
MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
// attach the file to the message
FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource("readme.txt");
mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp2.setFileName(fds.getName());
// create the Multipart and its parts to it
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
// add the Multipart to the message
msg.setContent(mp);
