How can I make a Message object from a text file / input stream (in RFC-822 format)?

If your text file input stream is istr, just do:

javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage msg = new javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage(sess, istr);

where sess is a JavaMail session. If you need to create a session (for instance, you just want to parse the text file using Message methods): 


class MyAuthenticator 
  extends javax.mail.Authenticator {}
javax.mail.Authenticator auth = 
  new MyAuthenticator();
java.util.Properties prop = 
  new java.util.Properties();
javax.mail.Session sess = 
   javax.mail.Session.getInstance(
      prop, auth);
