Save an email in JavaMail

[David Segall]

I am using JavaMail to process emails from a POP server and,
occasionally, I want to save one so that a human can look at it. I do
not have any control over the contents of the email so I would like to
either Save it as is to a file or forward it. My Google searches have
not located a method of doing this without taking the email to pieces
and reassembling it but I am hoping that there is a simpler way.

Look at Message.write(OutputStream) .. dumps the Message in the
mimetype of Message/RFC822 which is human readable (at least the bits
in the original message that are human readable).
