Viewing email on swing

Hi,

I'm getting emails from the exchange server and saving them on the file system as .eml files for later use. is there any way or library that i can use to display the original the files on a Jframe, something like icepdf that takes a pdf file and display it on a Jframe.

Thanks

With JavaMail you can read them. Then there are a few options:
- it's a plain text email (with or without attachments). A JTextArea will display your body just fine.
- it's an HTML email (with or without attachments). A non-editable JEditorPane will display your body just fine, except for embedded images.
- it's an email with both plain text and HTML parts (multipart/alternative). Choose which one to show.

The embedded images will be the main issue here.

i was thinking along the same line as well, but i just thought there might be a lib that you can use so that you don't have to go through the message body and check for different content types or disposition. I guess i'l just have to do it that way then. Thanks a mil

Well, there might be, and if there is one it may have solved the embedded contents issue. Perhaps someone else knows of such a library. I just don't.

yah maybe there is...but i think i've searched almost the whole internet now

Note I haven't used it myself but I think it is embed able in other components.
