Create a .eml (email) file in Java

Question

Anybody knows how to do this? I got all the information of the email (body, subject, from , to, cc, bcc) and need to generate an .eml file out of it.

Answer 1

Looking at a typical EML file it looks like a raw dump of the text communication that went to the server. So it is a text file containing the mail headers and body. To get your attachments, different views, etc in the correct format inside the EML file you need to MIME-encode the body and its parts.
