I ve been using the org.apache.commons.mail.HtmlEmail class, from apache commons-mail, for some time. Eventually, some users complain that the email shows with no attachemnts on their e-mail client (problem reported in Outlook 2007 and Lotus Notes).
One user have even analysed the problem and sent me the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961940
I have read that others: have switched to raw javax.mail API due to this problem.
Here s the part of the code which attaches the files:
private void dummy(List<Map<String, byte[]>> attachments, String htmlText) throws EmailException {
HtmlEmail memail;
memail = new HtmlEmail();
memail.setHtmlMsg(htmlText);
memail.setTextMsg("Your mail client doesn t recognize HTML e-mails.");
Iterator<Map<String, byte[]>> iter = attachments.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
Map<java.lang.String, byte[]> map = iter.next();
Set<Entry<String, byte[]>> entries = map.entrySet();
for (Entry<String, byte[]> entry : entries) {
try {
ByteArrayDataSource bads = new ByteArrayDataSource(
entry.getValue(), null);
memail.embed(bads, entry.getKey());
// memail.attach(bads, entry.getKey(), ""); // if I use this, the html message
// gets displaced
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new EmailException(e);
}
}
}
// ... continues
}
Have anyone experienced that before?
Thanks a lot in advance.
