sending email using javamail api

[Jacob Sonia]

Hi,

I have this code to send email, i want to change it to send email as a gzip attachment instead of a text. We are using TransportService and MimeMessage. Please help.

public void sendEmail(String emailBody, String emailRecipients, String subject){
		try {
			String[] toAddress = parseArray(emailRecipients);
			String from = (FROM_ADDRESS);
			if (toAddress != null) {
				for (int i = 0; i < toAddress.length; i++) {
					String address = (String) toAddress[i];
					m_transportService.sendText(emailBody, subject, address, from);
				}
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			getLogger().log(LogLevel.WARN, e.getMessage());
		}
	}

This extensive tutorial explains how to send attachments, amongst many other things.

Too difficult for "beginning Java". Moving thread.

An alternative to using javamail direct, is to use Commons-Email, which is a framework build on javamail, but with its own methods (a more clean way to send emails)

Here is the User Guide for Commons-Email: http://commons.apache.org/email/userguide.html
Where you can find the download link in the left menu bar.
