Question

I have a standard whole Mime source text string I need converted to either a Java or PHP object (or both if you want to show off !) so it can be manipulated in these platforms. I have looked everywhere but only seem to be able to create from scratch. So the below for example becomes an object that I can change headers or body parts, and the resend using the provided classes.

The require application for this is a distributed one, where I can supply customers a small java program while their local email app can point SMTP to, which I have done, and obtained Mime string as below.

I then want to be able to access and manipulate the various parts like headers and individual body parts before sending. Surely there is some class or library which will offer this ? If necessary I can simply send the string to a PHP script if there is a suitable solution in PHP however its on a shared server so I cannot simply add PHP extensions.

Solution

This is out of date now and never did fully solve it. The issue was deemed as platform specific (iPhone) and not relevant after so much time.
