This answer extends yurin’s answer. The issue he brought up was that the content of a MimeMultipart
may itself be another MimeMultipart
. The getTextFromMimeMultipart()
method below recurses in such cases on the content until the message body has been fully parsed.
private String getTextFromMessage(Message message) throws MessagingException, IOException {
String result = "";
if (message.isMimeType("text/plain")) {
result = message.getContent().toString();
} else if (message.isMimeType("multipart/*")) {
MimeMultipart mimeMultipart = (MimeMultipart) message.getContent();
result = getTextFromMimeMultipart(mimeMultipart);
}
return result;
}
private String getTextFromMimeMultipart(
MimeMultipart mimeMultipart) throws MessagingException, IOException{
String result = "";
int count = mimeMultipart.getCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
BodyPart bodyPart = mimeMultipart.getBodyPart(i);
if (bodyPart.isMimeType("text/plain")) {
result = result + "\n" + bodyPart.getContent();
break; // without break same text appears twice in my tests
} else if (bodyPart.isMimeType("text/html")) {
String html = (String) bodyPart.getContent();
result = result + "\n" + org.jsoup.Jsoup.parse(html).text();
} else if (bodyPart.getContent() instanceof MimeMultipart){
result = result + getTextFromMimeMultipart((MimeMultipart)bodyPart.getContent());
}
}
return result;
}
