There is a prototype in the ZmZimletBase.js named "onMsgView" which will called every time you view a new message.

Here a example javascript:

function GetFromAddress() {
}

GetFromAddress.prototype = new ZmZimletBase();
GetFromAddress.prototype.constructor = GetFromAddress;

GetFromAddress.prototype.onMsgView =
function(msg, oldMsg){
	var from = msg.getAddress(AjxEmailAddress.FROM);
	alert(from);
};

And the appropriate XML File:

<zimlet name="GetFromAddress" version="1.0" description="Get the sender address and print an alert">
	<include>getFromAddress.js</include>
	<handlerObject>GetFromAddress</handlerObject>
	
</zimlet>

Hope this helps someone else...

Hey Liox , Thanx for the post it helped me a lot ..
But i didnt create a new zimlet for that ... Since its giving error after deploying .. I am new to zimlets . i created the XML and the JS file as you have posted ...
Am getting the following error in mailbox.log

2009-06-25 09:54:31,270 INFO [btpool0-7] [name=zimbra;ip=10.200.220.186;] soap - DeployZimletRequest

if u can plz explain me the above .

so what i did is used the function in some other zimlet (ie i edited another zimlet ) and am getting the from address from there .

Another Querry ::
Is it possible to get the From address or the Subject without using the onMsgView Function .
What would u suggest if i need these values(from and subject) inside an Already existing function .

Many Thanx in Advance
