Java邮件消息正文为html，但类型为text / plain-阅读html

Question

The body of the message I receive is html structured but the type of the message says text/plain. In javax.mail getContent() returns plain text instead of html structured text. Even getBodyPart() returns just text.

Is there a way of actually extracting the html formatted message body from an email message marked as text/plain?

Object content = inMessage.getContent();
MimeMultipart mimeMultipart = (MimeMultipart) content;
BodyPart bodyPart = mimeMultipart.getBodyPart(i);
String cnt = (String) bodyPart.getContent());

cnt is a plain text instead of being html formatted. I know it is html because Outlook reads it as html and ViewSource in Outlook is html email.

Thank you

The multipart message might be a multipart/alternative that includes both the plain text and html parts. See this JavaMail FAQ entry .
