Identifying whether an email system supports html or not

Hi,
I was wondering whether you guys had any information on how to find out whether an email system(example: aol,hotmail,yahoo, etc) supports html based email messages. I am trying to develop a system which identifies whether a email server supports html or text messages and based on the outcome i need to send the text based or html based newsletter.
Thanks in advance --- Kumar

Think about it. If I want to read my e-mail, I start my e-mail client. It runs on my computer. When I'm finished reading it, I terminate it. So it's active for maybe 1 hour a day.
Now there you are, somewhere in cyberspace. How can you tell what e-mail client I am using? First, you can't get to my computer because I have a firewall to keep out the scum that inhabits the Internet. Or I'm in a LAN with 300 other computers and you don't know which is mine. Next, if you could, my e-mail client probably isn't running. And maybe I use a different client to check my mail from home on the weekends.
Like I said before, just ask your customers whether they want HTML e-mails.

How to identify whether a multiline container is empty or not in Workflow?

Hi Experts,
Does any1 know how to identify whether a multiline container
is empty or not in a workflow?
Thanks.

Dear Vincent,
You can get the report name for the Business Object which contains the multi-line container, from the BO itself. Put a break-point in the report and try executing the workflow. The multiline container is like an internal table in the report. See if the internal table is initial while execution.

How to findout whether the mail server supports STARTTLS or not?

Hi,
In my application I want to use explict SSL over SMTP, IMAP and POP3 by using the property "mail.<protocol>.starttls.enable"
. I did see the documentation for mail.<protocol>.starttls.enable property as
"If true, enables the use of the <code>STARTTLS</code> command (if
supported by the server) to switch the connection to a TLS-protected
connection before issuing any login commands".
How do I findout whether the server supports STARTTLS or not?
What will be the outcome if I use the property "mail.<protocol>.starttls.enable" though the server doe's not support STARTTLS? plain text connection will be there or will it throw any exception?
Thanks in advance!
PrasadKT

The "mail.<protocol>.starttls.enable" property will use STARTTLS if the server
supports it, and won't if it doesn't. Not using it might cause later commands to fail.
Newer versions of JavaMail also have a "mail.<protocol>.starttls.required"
property that will cause the connection to fail if the server doesn't support
STARTTLS.

How to check whether a SMTP server is supporting Authentication or not

Hi All,
We are using Java Mail API 1.3.1/1.3.2 to send the messages. some of the SMTP servers that we use are supporting authentication and some of them are not.
As the SMTPTransport.supportsAuthentication() is not available only in Java mail API 1.4.1, we are identifying the SMTP server whether it is supporting authentication or not in the following way.
Socket clientSocket = null;
InetSocketAddress socketAddress = null;
OutputStream outStream = null;
InputStream inStream = null;
InputStreamReader inReader = null;
OutputStreamWriter outWritter = null;
try
clientSocket = new Socket();
socketAddress = new InetSocketAddress(host, port);
clientSocket.connect(socketAddress, timeout*1000); // convert timeout from second to miliseconds
// 1: now try to execute the given command by passing that on Out-Socket
outStream = clientSocket.getOutputStream();
outWritter = new OutputStreamWriter(outStream);
outWritter.write("ehlo localhost" +"\n");
outWritter.flush();
// 2:Read output of above command
inStream = clientSocket.getInputStream();
inReader = new InputStreamReader(inStream);
// This array limit would be fine to get "AUTH" extension of smtp server.
char[] arr = new char[16384];
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
inReader.read(arr);
for(int i=0; i< arr.length; i++)
strBuilder.append(arr);
System.out.println(METHOD_NAME + "SMTP server response for ehlo localhost command ->"+strBuilder.toString());
// The output EHLO command comes like below :
// ehlo localhost
// 250-ap9058pc.us.oracle.com Hello ap614ses.us.oracle.com [130.35.33.43], pleased to meet you
// 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
// 250-PIPELINING
// 250-8BITMIME
// 250-SIZE
// 250-DSN
// 250-ETRN
// 250-AUTH GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN
// Since for XATUH ( like internal IP),
// we are not sure, so just checking for AUTH capability.
supported = strBuilder.indexOf("250-AUTH") >=0? true : false;
As shown in above code, we are issuing 'ehlo localhost' command to SMTP server, if the response i. 'strBuilder' contains '250-AUTH' then we are assuming that it is supporting authentication.
But for one SMTP server the 'strBuilder' value is showing as '220 mail.durofelguera.com ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 8.5.2) ready at Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:57:20 +0100' only which is socket connection output but not 'ehlo localhost' command output.
where as the telnet test output is showing correct only as below
# telnet mail.durofelguera.com 25
Trying 172.20.16.65...
Connected to mail.durofelguera.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.durofelguera.com ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 8.5.2) ready
at 0
ehlo localhost
250-mail.durofelguera.com Hello localhost ([172.20.15.209]), pleased to meet
yu
250-HELP
250-AUTH LOGIN
250-SIZE
250 PIPELINING
AUTH LOGIN
The question is why the 'strBuilder' is not showing 'ehlo localhost' conad output where as the telnet test results are showing correctly, what is going wrong here?
Is there any other way to check that whether SMTP server is supporting authentication or not?
Edited by: sarojak on Feb 19, 2012 10:11 PM

There are so many things wrong with your code, it's hard to know where to start...
Basically, the problem is not as simple as you think it is.
For example, some servers might not allow authentication until you've issued
the STARTTLS command.
These days, essentially all servers allow authentication. You're probably better
off just assuming the server supports.

Sending emails with HTML or not?

I am developing an application which will send 1000's of emails and I'm debating on whether or not to send html in the email. I have two questions:
1. Do most email clients support html? Most of the recipients of the emails will be AOL, hotmail/msn, or yahoo clients. Are there any stats on how many people are running clients that don't support html?
2. The emails I send require an embedded image. Can I send an email with an image and it not be a html email? If so, how? A multipart email? If anybody has an example that would be great!
I'd prefer to not use HTML if possible.
Thanks,
JEB

Here is a simplified version of the code. I've left out simple variable declarations, methods, and try-catch blocks but they are obivious...
        // AQUIRE THE JAVAMAIL SESSION OBJECT
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpHost);
        Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
        // PREPARE THE MULTIPART MESSAGE
        Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from, personal));
        if (bcc != null)
            message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.BCC, new InternetAddress(bcc));
        message.setSubject(subject);
        MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("alternative");
        BodyPart bodyPartText = new MimeBodyPart();
        BodyPart bodyPartHtml = new MimeBodyPart();
        BodyPart bodyPartImage = new MimeBodyPart();
        bodyPartImage.setDisposition(Part.INLINE);
        FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(photo);
        bodyPartImage.setFileName(fds.getName());
        bodyPartImage.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
        bodyPartImage.setHeader("Content-ID", "23abc@pc27");
        message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
        // THESE METHODS JUST RETURN TEXT OR HTML, RESPECTIVELY
        String htmlContent = createHtmlContent();
        String textContent = createTextContent();
        // SEND A HTML AND TEXT ALTERNATIVE EMAIL FOR THOSE WHO DON'T SUPPORT HTML
        bodyPartText.setContent(textContent, "text/plain");
        bodyPartHtml.setContent(htmlContent, "text/html");
        multipart.addBodyPart(bodyPartHtml ,0);
        multipart.addBodyPart(bodyPartImage, 1);
        multipart.addBodyPart(bodyPartText, 2);
        message.setContent(multipart);
        // SEND THE MAIL MESSAGE

ICloud enable, apple laptop not set up but icloud email system "ON", how to track when it stolen?

I recently gotten my laptop bag stolen w/ my macbook pro and other papers stolen. I have iCloud on set up in email system but I had not checked to allow," Find my Mac" option. I really need help to get this problem solve. Please can anybody help me solve this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

What is itibiti.exe doing on my Mozilla Thunderbird email system?

I keep receiving verification emails from apple that are not from me

Hi, I've received more than 20 emails from [email protected] in the same day to verify my email address, the messages are in French, and according to google translate:
"Dear (Not me),
You entered (my Gmail address missing the dots) as contact email address for your Apple ID. To complete the process, we need to verify that it is your email address. Just click the link below and log in using your Apple ID and password.
Should I be worried? Did someone access my account? I changed my password but received the same email later.
The last email was different, it say, according to google translate:
"Find My iPhone was disabled in iPhone (Not me but same as above)..."

Hey there Mr.224,
It sounds like you are getting emails from a sender that appears to be Apple, but with information that clearly is not yours. I recommend a couple of things here. First log into your account at http://appleid.apple.com, and see if the email address from the message you got is listed in your Alternate Email address. If so, and you do not want it there, delete the email address.
If it is not there, then take a look at this article with informatin about identifying Phishing emails:

On my SmarterMail email system, every time I hit "reply" to draft a response to a message, Firefox has begun displaying a mass of HTML data from the original message, making it impossible to use, rather than just the simple text as previously.

I've been using this web-based email system for many years. Up until last week, every time I wanted to reply to a message, I simply clicked reply, and got a new message draft, with all the previous exchanges neatly tacked on the bottom in reverse chronological order. Now what happens is that I get a mass of HTML gobbledygook, which makes it very difficult to make out what the previous message said. This only affects the "view"ing of the new draft as when I send it, it comes out clean to the recipient. And it only affects my main desktop computer. (Windows XP).

Hi,
I have my Contact Testers page which has this HTML
(opening tag here) a href="aim:goim?screenname=ralphjohnsr&message= Hi+!,+I+came+from+your+website,+ralphjohnsuk." (closing tag here) (opening tag here) img align="right" alt="Webmaster iChat Online Status Indicator" border="0" src="http://big.oscar.aol.com/ralphjohnsr?on_url=http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk//images/ RalphOn.gif& off_url=http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk//images/RalphOff.gif" /(closing tag here)(oen tag)/a(close tag)
I have added some linebreaks to make it fit the page here.
This is obviously done using a valid AIM login name and the a href ="aim:goim? will launch an AIM Client and Message me.
As you say you would create a New Apple ID then this would be iCloud and an AIM valid Name (keeping the Password to 16 characters or less).
I am not aware of an iMessage equivalent that would do this to a Phone or iPad or to the Messages Beta as an iMessage.
To be clear.
What this HTML does is launch an AIM client (App) on the computer or the person viewing my page and then start a chat with the IM included in the HTML.
To do that it queries the AIM servers as to whether I am On line or Line and show a pic relevant to that status. (it does not stop Off Line IMs but I am set up for that. It also does not say if I am Available or Away.)
Edit to get html to show (not sure how to work this Raw code thing which dispalyed in the Reply wysiwyg screen.

Could it be a new work firewall associated with the upgrades? How can I resolve this?
