JavaMail decodes quoted printable incorrectly
Hi,
I have a MIME / Multipart message whose content has been encoded as Content-Type: application/ms-tnef;
name="winmail.dat"and
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
This message originated in a windows system.
This message is in a POP3 server.Now i am trying to retrieve this mail from the server into a Unix environment using folder.getMessages() . Now when i see this retrieved message, it is different from the original message that was in the server. can anyone please tell me why?
Further, if i print the original message (the one in the server) as an input stream in the VI editor(unix), it is the same as in seen in the windows environmen. However if i print it as a byteArray, i see ^M characters appended at the end of every sentence. The same is the case with the message which is retireved with folder.getMessages().
can anyone please give me an answer to these questions? is javm,ail tryng to decode the quoted printable and decoding it incorrectly because of the ^M characters?

Hi,
i am doing something like this
session = Session.getInstance(mailProps);
session.setDebug(true);
try {
store = session.getStore(strProtocol);
store.connect(strHost, intPort, strUsername, strPassword);
}
try {
folder = store.getDefaultFolder();
folder = store.getFolder(MAILBOX);
}
try {
totalmessage = folder.getMessageCount();
}
AllMessages =folder.getMessages(1, totalmessage);
This is the protocol trace that i get. it is not printing the message the JavaMail is retrieving from the server. It prints the number of bytes.

can you please tell me how to check the exact message that is retrieved? any help would be appreciated
this is what i have done, well almost. its the same code in msghow.java.
Message m = null;
try {
m = folder.getMessage(1);
dumpPart(m);
} catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException iex) {
System.out.println("Message number out of range");
}
public void dumpPart(Part p) throws Exception {
if (p.isMimeType("multipart/*")) {
pr("This is a Multipart");
pr("");
Multipart mp = (Multipart)p.getContent();
int count = mp.getCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
dumpPart(mp.getBodyPart(i));
PrintStream ps= session.getDebugOut();
System.out.println("dk6"+ps.toString());
}else{
Object o = p.getContent();
if (o instanceof String) {
pr("This is a string");
pr("");
//System.out.println((String)o);
} else if (o instanceof InputStream) {
pr("This is just an input stream");
pr("");
InputStream is = (InputStream)o;
int c;
while ((c = is.read()) != -1);
//System.out.write(c);
} else {
pr("This is an unknown type");
pr("");
pr(o.toString());
}
}
}
public static void pr(String s) {
System.out.println(s);
}
No this was what the original message was like:
