I am having problems decode attachments that are not base64, but are 7 bit 8 bit, ... What am I doing wrong? Do I have to modify my code (below)to use

			

			

			InputStream in=mbp.getInputStream();
			

			String[] encoding=mbp.getHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding");
			

			if(encoding!=null && encoding.length>0){
			

			in=MimeUtility.decode(in,encoding[0]);
			

			}
			

		

or should writing the input stream to the out do an automatic decode for me?

Thanks for the help





my code

			

			String fileName = p.getFileName();
			

			String disposition = p.getDisposition();
			

			String contentType = p.getContentType();
			

			String encoding = p.getEncoding();
			

			

			File attachmentDir = new File(attachmentDirStr);
			

			

			if(!attachmentDir.exists())
			

			attachmentDir.mkdirs();
			

			

			if (fileName == null && (disposition.equals(Part.ATTACHMENT) || !contentType.equals("text/plain")))
			

			{
			

			// pick a random file name. This requires Java 1.2 or later.
			

			fileName = File.createTempFile("attachment", ".txt",attachmentDir).getName();
			

			//we need this to return a file name
			

			newName = fileName.toString();
			

			}
			

			

			if (fileName == null)
			

			{ // likely inline
			

			p.writeTo(System.out);
			

			}
			

			else
			

			{
			

			

			File f = new File(attachmentDir,fileName);
			

			int i = 0;
			

			// find a version that does not yet exist attachment directory
			

			newName = fileName;
			

			

			

			while (f.exists())
			

			{
			

			i++;
			

			newName = i + fileName;
			

			f = new File(attachmentDir,newName);
			

			

			}
			

			

			

			FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(f);
			

			

			// We can't just use p.writeTo() here because it doesn't
			

			// decode the attachment. Instead we copy the input stream
			

			// onto the output stream which does automatically decode
			

			// Base-64, quoted printable, and a variety of other formats.
			

			InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(p.getInputStream());
			

			int b;
			

			while ((b = in.read()) != -1)
			

			{
			

			out.write(b);
			

			}
			

			out.flush();
			

			out.close();
			

			in.close();
			

			}
