Email Parser

Hi All,
This is my first email to this forum.
Can someone please help me.
I need an Java email parser to parse HTML Emails. I need to strip off the html tags from the email.
Thanks,
Manasa

Yes , i understand what you are saying but the reason i need a parser is; if a html email is retrived as a text email then i will loose all the formatting which is in the email. I need to get rid of styles but keep the new lines and spaces so that the output looks good.
Iam going to use this output from the email to display on webpage.
Thanks for help.
But if you can tell me what kind of parsers would be the best to use and where can i find some information then it would be very helpful to me
Thanks,
Manasa

Email Parsing Adapter

Email Parsing Adapter
An interesting idea - what about an email parsing adapter? It would be too cool to have an email agent that was configurable by email account (pop, smtp, etc.) and typical account settings, that could skim emails for name value pairs or something similar. Not sure how it would be configured, but the idea being that you could accept changes to services based on emails into a specific email box (comments, updates of tasks, etc.)

eGain seems pretty robust (though we aren't using it and I don't know much about it, so that's not an official endorsement), but I don't know that I'm talking about a full-scale enterprise application integration, but rather something simple - a basic, configurable, email parsing agent with a couple of options so that it can support diffent types of email environments.

HTML tag strip (email parsing use case)

Have you guys come across the requirements of parsing a HTML message, lets say an email, and convert into text?
The most common use case would be email parsing, remove all the HTML tags and use as string.
It has to remove the entire tags, with attributes, for example tables, with TRs and TDs with properties, must be removed. The BR converted into carriage return, etc?
Cheers,
Renato Fichmann

Derek,
In my situation, I'm triggering a process from an email. I need to extract information out of this email but it's not formatted as XHTML. I don't know there's an easy way to preprocess the email first before trying to disect it.
I'm working on an alternative solution but that relys on the people sending me the email to grant direct access to their systems.
Hopefully there'll be some funky string functions like this in upcoming releases??

Read In Email, parsing Attachments and converting them to PDF

Dear Forum,
When an email arrives, I want to check wether there are attachments present in this email. When there are .GIF, .PNG or .TIFF files attached, I want to convert them to a PDF.
Does anybody knows how to do one of these steps in Java?
1) parsing attachments out of email
2)converting them to PDF
Thank you,
Stefan Tysbaert

In your JavaMail download there is a directory containing examples of JavaMail code. One of those examples covers your first question.
And the second question ("How do I convert a GIF file to PDF?") isn't a question about JavaMail.

Email Parsing - Subject, From, To, etc

I'd like to use Java to parse emails to get things like the subject line, from email address, to email address, etc. Where is a good place to start? After I get the parsing done, I'll later be doing more to work an filtering spam and viruses. But, first things first...

We have the .eml files stored in a folder on our server. We want to read the .eml files and then do the parsing. I see there are functions like getFrom and getSubject that might be useful. However, I'm not sure how to create a message from this .eml file. Trying a real basic example like this doesn't work:
email = "from:[email protected]";
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession, email);
System.out.println(message.getFrom());
What am I doing wrong?

Sending parsed jsp to email problem

Good day!
I have a problem in solving the task: send by email parsed jsp page.
Application is under jakarta struts (MVC model).
I put the postMail( String recipients[ ], String subject, String message , String from) method into command class, it works correctly (I have checked it with default html content)
So the problem is to pass the message body, that would
contain already parsed jsp page (for example - the order document ) from Action class.
I had read many articles about this topic, but there are the decision to
place the java logic code right into the jsp page, that is not right for MVC.
I see the following solution: to catch output stream from struts and compile the message.
But how can I do it?
I think, there are more correct ways to do this task. If you have any, please, share!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not sure about the struts. I havent worked with it. But I use HTMLTemplate package for sending html emails out . I set my variables which are dynamic at runtime and pass them as template variables to the template file. You cna check the package out for more information
hope this helps you

.csv file in an outlook email attachment

Hello,
How can we accomplish following using SOA/BPEL without using Oracle Beehive or any other third paty tools.
1. Emails contain a .csv file with 5 columns.
2. There is a table in Oracle EBS database with 5 columns.
3. We need to have real time integration to import these .csv file from incoming emails into Oracle table from #2 above.
How can SOA/BPEL detach the .csv file from emails, parse .csv fields and import these files in Oracle table in real time manner?
Please advise.
Darsh

as idea
- vba script in outlook for save .*csv files to some directory
- composite for pooling directory and insert data from parsed .*csv files
or
all by vba

Using TFS and email for bug reports or feature requests

We've just rolled out a beta of our website and are soliciting feedback from external customers. We set up a distribution list in Exchange where those emails all come to, but it's not practical. It's difficult to track, it's non threaded and
we have different people responding and testing the same items.
We recently installed TFS 2010 to give it a trial run (nobody has ever used TFS before at all nor is anyone really familiar with it) and I have to imagine that you can use TFS to provide this sort of functionality. Is there a paper or website out there
that discussion doing this via TFS? Basically what I'm looking for is:
1. User is presented with a webform, fills it out, clicks submit which generates an email sent to us (done)
1b. An auto response message is sent to the user who submits the form (not done as Exhchange distro wont do this without going the public folder route)
2. Instead of the email coming to us, it would go to TFS which would auto-open a ticket
3. All of us would have access to the ticket queue and be able to do the following
a. ask further questions to the end user, have it sent to them automatically, update the ticket with the emails so we can all follow the thread
b. able to reassign the ticket to a backlog, or as a bug to a current iteration or simply close it
I'm an IT guy/project manager rather than a developer but I'm pretty good at following documentation if I can find it for what I'm trying to do. Thanks for any pointers.

Ahh, thanks for the extra details and clarification. The features that you are asking for are definitely not provided out of the box, but are implementable using the TFS SDK. Inlining a suggestion of one way your developers could
implement this:
1. User is presented with a webform, fills it out, clicks submit which generates an email sent to us (done)
Have the code for the webform make a call to TFS to add a new work item with a special iteration path, e.g. "UnconfirmedCustomerRequests" or a special field like "ActiveCustomerRequest" set to true. You can add a potentially add customer
email address field to the work item template to keep track of the email address. Then send the email out, and include the TFS bug id (and a link to the bug in TFS web access, if desired) in the email.
1b. An auto response message is sent to the user who submits the form (not done as Exhchange distro wont do this without going the public folder route)
Why can't the code for your web form take care of that?
2. Instead of the email coming to us, it would go to TFS which would auto-open a ticket
Taken care of in step 1
3. All of us would have access to the ticket queue and be able to do the following
a. ask further questions to the end user, have it sent to them automatically, update the ticket with the emails so we can all follow the thread
You can write a web service that listens for notifications from TFS when certain work items are changed. Updating the work item from customer replies may be trickier without writing another web form that talks to TFS or an email
parser.
b. able to reassign the ticket to a backlog, or as a bug to a current iteration or simply close it.

Blog entries via email?

Hi all,
Anyone know if the new blog utility in iWeb/.mac will support adding entries via email from a handheld device such as a blackberry?

I'd done something similar long ago, sent an email to my home machine, AppleScript intercepted the email, parsed the subject line and turned on X-10 power module. It was like having Tom Bodett at home.
As for iWeb, the concept is do-able. But at the current state, iWeb is not quite scriptable. You can add a photo blog entry, but it only has images property, so you can't enter any text for it.
Perhaps, next rev.

Adding blog entries via email

Suggestion: to add blog entries (text and/or photos) to iWeb via email.

Getmail problem

I'm trying to set Mutt up and running, but when I run getmail I get:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/getmailcore/message.py:83: DeprecationWarning: 'strict' argument is deprecated (and ignored)
parser = email.Parser.HeaderParser(strict=False)
Delivery error (maildir delivery 908 error (127, maildir delivery process failed (refuse to deliver mail as root)))
I don't know how to tackle this.
Some help would be appreciated...

Getmail is doing the "right thing", but there is a "gotcha".
Getmail happily writes directly to maildir mailboxes (no maildrop, procmail needed), so if as an ordinary user, you have write access to a maildir you can deliver mail. This means, if you run getmail and want to deliver email to another user on your pc, under your /home, their mailbox is not secure against you. This isn't much of a security issue really as you're fetching their email anyway and their email client will store emails somewhere else.
On the other hand, if you run getmail as root, it won't let you forward email off site.
My wife and I have email on my PC, kids at uni get theirs forwarded by getmail using "smtpsend". I run getmail as an "at" job under my user. I have to get (e.g.) all wanadoo email, because although the kids could get just theirs by POP3 username, I have to get "*" so might pick up some of theirs, I can't get "the rest" and I use a lot of aliases. Therefore, I get everything and getmail delivers to all.
Stick with getmail - the regex filtering is brilliant.
EDIT:
For a time I did hack the source, but you have to remember to watch for upgrades. I think it should be:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/getmailcore/destinations.py and comment out lines 136 to 139

The googleapi.jar contains copies of some javamail classes. Here a few I found in my output:
javax.mail.event.MessageCountListener from googleapi.jar
javax.mail.Session from googleapi.jar
javax.mail.MessagingException from googleapi.jar
javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException from googleapi.jar
This particular google api is the old SOAP google service that is no longer allowing new registrations, but still has support for existing API key holders, like me :-). Thought this might be a common jar in most libraries, so worth mentioning.
Don't forget, you can debug your loaded classes with java -verbose MyApp to find those rogue libraries.

EXCHANGE 2010 (cfexchange and IMAP)

First, let me say that I would have loved if this post was about how I was working with cfexchange and Exchange Server 2010, but its not, because cfexchange does not work with Exchange 2010 and never has. See Bug report 82576 and vote!
Now, since I was not able to use cfexchange, I wrote an email parsing script using CFIMAP that was working until recently. About the same time, I upgraded Exchange to SP1, I also upgraded CF9 to CF9.01. Now, I am unable to use the GETHEADERSONLY or GETALL actions of CFIMAP. I consistently get the following error:
The cause of this exception was: javax.mail.MessagingException: Unable to load BODYSTRUCTURE.
Does anyone else have a similar environment to test to see if CF9 or 9.01 works with CFIMAP on Exchange 2010 SP1? Your input would be much appreciated.
--Sean

I know this is an old question, but perhaps this will help someone else down the line... I've run into this problem when accessing GMail using CFIMAP.
The problem is caused by messages that have other messages attached as files. In GMail, these get converted to "noname.eml" attachments that can only be opened if you download them.
You can confirm this by quarantining all of the inbox files in a separate folder, moving only a couple known-attachment-free messages into the inbox and re-running your script.
Once you remove all messages that have other messages attached, you should have no more trouble

Cfpop..anyone try this yet?

I created a web site that people can send pics to from their
cell phones. I
created a specific email address for the user to send pics to
and am using
cfpop to capture the email, parse it, and insert 3 elements
into a database
(attachment, subject, and 'mobile member').
The one problem I ran into with Verizon is that it sends a
txt file and a
image file at attachments. So, both get inserted into the
database.
Sprint is a pain due to having to link to their site to
retrieve the image.
Is there any way to strip out the image file in the
attachment by either
specifying the mine type or by looking for .jpg and going
backwards till the
first space and trimming the rest off?
Also, how can I automate the cfpop to check for mail every so
often? I have
it set to trigger when a user hits the homepage.
<cffunction name="GetMail" access="remote"
returntype="void">
<cfpop server="mail.mywebsite.com"
username="[email protected]"
password="****" action="GetAll"
attachmentpath="E:\webs\mywebsite.com\wwwroot\gallery\pics"
name="Mobile"
generateuniquefilenames="yes">
<cfif #Mobile.RecordCount# NEQ 0>
<cfquery name="GetPic" datasource="#Request.MainDSN#">
INSERT INTO Gallery (image, location, username)
VALUES ('#Mobile.attachments#','#Mobile.subject#', 'Mobile
Member')
</cfquery>
</cfif>
</cffunction>

Hi
i think the best idea is by checking the mime type. you can
stripe off the image attachment.
and to automate the checking the new mails you can make use
of the scheduler.
create a scheduler and give some schedule time, then it will
triggers on the specified time.
