I am trying to send a mail that contains a message using multipart-related.

I have tried using the following code, but it seems to make the boundary parameter disappear

mimemessage.setHeader("Content-type", "multipart/related;type="text/html"");

I have also tried to add my own boundary parameter to the code above and lots of other techniques but nothing seems to work.

I would really appreciate some help on this issue! Thanks!

hi there,

You may want to look more closely at the javadoc for the MimeMultipart class.

It indicates that the class implements a MimePart with a primary content type of "multipart", and a sub-type of "mixed". The documentation also indicates that it is up to us (users) to write sub-classes of MimeMultipart to implement any of the other content sub-type semantics. Thanks to JAF, you do not have to modify sun's original mail.jar to provide support for this mime type.

Conclusion: JavaMail does not support the "related" sub-type, but you can use MimeMultipart as a starting point to build your own implementation.

You may want to look at http://www.imc.org/rfc2387 for a description of the "multipart/related" content type.

cheers
