I currently have a program that sends users an email based on their information in my database. The email is built out in html and sends to the users email as a content type text/html. I want to try and see if I could somehow send this message to their phone using the email format ###########domain.com.
Obviously phones cant receive an HTML message, so I tried this:
-Removed the html and sent pure text, this did work, however for Verizon (the only service provider I tested) the text got cut off and the full message never sent. I only received the first part of the message.
Then I wondered if it was possible to somehow "screenshot" the html message and simply send the picture of the html display to the phone.
Here is my current code to send an email:
public static void email(String content, String address) {
final String username = "email";
final String password = "password";
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
#Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
}
});
try {
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
Address[] a = InternetAddress.parse("myemail");
message.setReplyTo(a);
message.setHeader("From: ", "Movie Alert");
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse(address));
if (ShowFinder.showsFound > 1) message.setSubject("Movie Alert: " + ShowFinder.showsFound + " New Shows Found!");
else if (ShowFinder.showsFound == 1) message.setSubject("Movie Alert: " + ShowFinder.showsFound + " New Show Found!");
else message.setSubject("Unsubscribed");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(content);
message.setContent(sb.toString(), "text/html");
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent Email");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
So in conclusion I have the following questions:
-Is the reason the text got cut off because I am not sending the email properly, or because of the service provider?
-Is it possible to send a screenshot of the html display based on the html code through a text message?
Thanks!
I found a solution to send an html message to a phone! There is a jar called HTML2Image that will convert your html code into an image: https://code.google.com/p/java-html2image/
To make an image of the html you would do something like this:
HtmlImageGenerator imageGenerator = new HtmlImageGenerator();
imageGenerator.loadHtml("<b>Hello World!</b> Please goto <a title=\"Goto Google\" href=\"http://www.google.com\">Google</a>.");
imageGenerator.saveAsImage("hello-world.png");
Then you could send this new image like so:
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("email"));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(toEmail));
mbp1.setText(text);
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(new File("screenshot location/hello-world.png"));
mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
mbp2.setFileName("Screenshot.png");
mbp2.setHeader("Content-ID", "<image_cid>");
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
message.setContent(mp);
Transport.send(message);
I strongly suspect the text is getting cut off because of the service provider. There's probably a limit on the size of a single text message.
If you can't fit all the text you want into a short message, you might want to send a link to a web page containing all the information.

I'm struggling with Javamail, I'm trying to send emails with a zip file attached.
When I try to send a mail without attachment, it works fine but when I add the zip the mail is no longer sent. I have no errors...
My code :
LOGGER.info("########################### Send Email with attachement to " + destination + " Start ######################");
//Config smtp mail
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", getSmtpHost());
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", getSmtpsocketFactoryPort());
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", getSmtpsocketFactoryClass());
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", getSmtpAuth());
props.put("mail.smtp.port", getSmtpPort());
//instance Session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(getUsername(), getPassword());
}
});
try {
//construction objet mail
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(getFromAddress()));
//Send Email to Addresse
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(destination));
message.setSubject(objet);
message.setSentDate(new Date());
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText(contenu);
MimeBodyPart attachmentBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String fileName = attachementPath + attachementName;
File file = new File (fileName);
attachmentBodyPart.attachFile(file);
MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
multipart.addBodyPart(attachmentBodyPart);
message.setContent(multipart);
//send Email
Transport.send(message);
LOGGER.info("########################### Send email with attachement to " + destination + " End ########################### ");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
LOGGER.error("Error when send email to " + destination);
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
I've tryied a lot of things, I may be to tired to find the mistake xD
Thanks for the help !!
Update : Thanks to jmehrens I've found the issue. My mail server doesn't allow .zip
Make sure your mail server doesn't have a policy in place that prevents the delivery of emails with the extension of .zip. You should be able to test that with just a mail client (or JavaMail) and rename the extension to either .txt or even .piz.
Read the JavaMail FAQ. It is full of good information on best practices, debugging and troubleshooting steps.
I'm writing a standalone application in Processing and I need to publish sketch screenshots on FB page timeline via JavaMail.
So I wrote this:
void sendMail() {
String host="smtp.gmail.com";
Properties props=new Properties();
props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new Auth());
try
{
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("xxxxx#gmail.com", "xxxxx"));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse("xxxxxxxxxx#m.facebook.com", false));
message.setSubject("ok");
BodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource fds = new FileDataSource(file);
mbp.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp.setFileName("screen.png");
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp);
message.setContent(mp);
message.setSentDate(new Date());
Transport.send(message);
println("Mail sent!");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
println(e);
}
}
Now, when I write down my gmail e-mail as recipient - method works perfectly (I receive only subject and attached photo), but when I use my FB page e-mail - only subject appears in my timeline, no photo.
I've done the same thing with PHP before and it worked. Maybe I have missed something?
Thank You in advance!:)
Well, I've looked on the content of the original message and noticed this:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=screen.png
So I just added a third line to my code:
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.attachFile(new File(file));
mbp.setHeader("Content-Type", "image/png");
Then I got:
Content-Type: image/png
and now everything works perfectly!:)
You're creating a multipart message with exactly one part and that one part isn't a text part, it's an image part. While that's perfectly legal according to the MIME spec, it's "unusual", and perhaps Facebook email isn't prepared to handle such a message.
When you did the same thing with PHP, did you create a message with the same structure?
Try NOT creating a multipart message. Instead, just set the image as the content of the message itself.
Also, try creating a multipart message with a first part that's plain text and a second part that's the image.
I am using TinyMCE in my website to get some data
I am storing the data in the MySQL database .. I am storing the HTML generated from the RTE to the database
It works fine when I have to display the data on a browser and everything is neatly formatted
However When I try to send that via email ... I get HTML in the email (and that too escaped)
Emailer code (just a start) is as follows:
public static void sendMail(String to, String from, String subject, String content)
throws Exception
{
if(!ScribeBookConstants.isEmailEnabled())
return;
//String host = "s155.eatj.com";
String host = ScribeBookConstants.getEmailHost();
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
SMTPAuthenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
msg.setText(content);
Transport.send(msg);
}
I tried to send an email to a Gmail account ... and get escaped HTML in the message text
Unescape content before calling setText().
Actually found the solution
I just had to set the content type to "text/html"
I have an application that can send mails, implemented in Java. I want to put a HTML link inside de mail, but the link appears as normal letters, not as HTML link...
How can i do to inside the HTML link into a String? I need special characters? thank you so much
Update:
HI evereybody! thanks for oyu answers! Here is my code:
public static boolean sendMail(Properties props, String to, String from,
String password, String subject, String body)
{
try
{
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setContent(body, "text/html");
MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(mbp);
// Preparamos la sesion
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
// Construimos el mensaje
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setContent(multipart);
message.addRecipient(
Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setText(body);
// Lo enviamos.
Transport t = session.getTransport("smtp");
t.connect(from, password);
t.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
// Cierre.
t.close();
return true;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
And here the body String:
String link = "ACTIVAR CUENTA";
But in the received message the link appears as the link string, not as HTML hyperlink! I don't understand what happens...
Any solution?
Adding the link is as simple as adding the text inside the string. You should set your email to support html (it depends on the library you are using), and you should not escape your email content before sending it.
Update: since you are using java.mail, you should set the text this way:
message.setText(body, "UTF-8", "html");
html is the mime subtype (this will result in text/html). The default value that is used by the setText(string) method is plain
I'm just going to answer in case this didn't work for someone else.
I tried Bozho's method and for some reason the email wouldn't send when I did the setText on the message as a whole.
I tried
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setContent(body, "text/html");
but this came as an attachment in Outlook instead of in the usual text. To fix this for me, and in Outlook, instead of doing the mbp.setContent and message.setText, I just did a single setText on the message body part. ie:
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setText(messageBody,"UTF-8", "html");
With my code for the message looking like this:
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
for(String str : to){
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(str));
}
message.setSubject(subject);
// Create the message part
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Fill the message
messageBodyPart.setText(messageBody,"UTF-8","html");
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Put parts in message
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send the message
Transport.send(message);
Appending "http://" before the URL worked for me.
We can create html link in the email body by using java code.In my case I am developing reset password where I should create link and send to the user through the mail.you will create one string.With in a string you type all the url.If you add the http to the that .it behaves like link with in the mail.
Ex:String mailBody ="http://localhost:8080/Mail/verifytoken?token="+ token ;
you can send some value with url by adding query string.Her token has some encrypted value.
put mailBody in your mail body parameter.
ex": "Hi "+userdata.getFirstname()+
"\n\n You have requested for a new password from the X application. Please use the below Link to log in."+
"\n\n Click on Link: "+mailBody);
The above is the string that is parameter that you have to pass to your mail service.Email service takes parameters like from,to,subject,body.Here I have given body how it should be.you pass the from ,to,subject values according to your cast
you can do right way it is working for me.
public class SendEmail
{
public void getEmail(String to,String from, String userName,String password,Properties props,String subject,String messageBody)

I want to develope SMSAlert application using java. I want to get sms alerts to my number whenever i get mail. Is it possible in java. Thanks in advance.
An easy and free way to accomplish this is to send an email to your sms inbox.
Each provider has a different domain, but say for sprint emails sent to [mynumber]#messaging.sprintpcs.com will be texted to me.
There doesn't seem to be much of a delay, we have monitoring processes that send out emails and texts this way on error conditions and they arrive simultaneously.
Of course if your recipients are spread across multiple networks maintaining this sort of system gets trickier, because you've got to look up the email domains.
There have been quite a lot of posts about this already.
My advice is to go through a third party provider such as aspsms.com and then to use their API (web service or wathever).
This one has a .Net API, but with Java, you should be able to use the SOAP webservice.
