Hi everyone,

Thanks for everyone's replies.

I should have included a code snippet - I do know how to pull apart
emails according to their mime body part, but my question is how to
further extract the various headers (thanks to Derek above for this
suggestion) a body part that is coded multipart/related - the email
body contains both Text and an embedded Image

code snippet (apologies how it pasted):

BTW what is that post with all the links in it by arabzwaj50?)

//logon to pop3 server
//connect to store
//open inbox folder

Message messages[] = inboxFolder.getMessages();

for (int i=0, n=messages.length; i<n; i++)
{

Object content = messagePart.getContent();

if (content instanceof Multipart)
{
    processMultipartContent(content, myNote);   //myNote is object to
hold parts/subject etc
}
else
{
   	    //not multipart email
    String contentType = messagePart.getContentType();
    if (contentType.startsWith("text/plain") ||
contentType.startsWith("text/html"))
    {
		myNote.setMsgBody((String) messagePart.getContent());
    }
}

//save myNote to database etc

//process the multipart - works for everything except text with inline
object eg company email with text and company logo in body of email

private static void processMultipartContent(Object content, Note nt)
	{

Part[] pa = null;

int i = 0;
		Part p = null;

try
		{
			//loop through body parts
	    	Multipart mp = (Multipart) content;
	    	pa = new Part[mp.getCount()];

for(int j = 0; j< mp.getCount(); j++ )
	        {
	        	p = mp.getBodyPart(j);

System.out.println(p.getContentType());

// this code works fine except for emails with inline
attachements and messages

if (p.getContentType().startsWith("text/plain") ||
p.getContentType().startsWith("text/html"))
	        	{
	        		nt.setMsgBody(nt.getMsgBody() + " " +  (String)
p.getContent());
	        	}
	        	else //save all other mime content types to directory
	        	{

//this is where the body of multipart/related email is
getting put together into a single part at the moment. This is where I
need help on how to loop thru multipart/related headers(?)

pa[i] = p;
     		                 i++;
	        	}

} //end for

}
		catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
		finally
		{
			//add array attachments
			nt.attachments = pa;

//clean up
			p = null;
			pa = null;
		}
	} //processMultipartContent

}[/i]
