i have gone through the wiki zimbra and other zimlet codes but am not able to solve this problem .

I want to create a sample zimlet through which il be able to extract the Mail details viz. From field , Subject Field , Body , etc .

I tried doing this ::
1.Creating a var of ZmMailMsg in the js .
var msg = new ZmMailMsg();
Then tried to fetch the from field by simply msg.from and msg.subject (as par a zimlet i have seen ) and the values returned are "undefined".Why is this happening like this ?

Your code creates a new, empty message... msg.from and msg.subject will be undefined until you set them.

To get an existing message, you'll need to do one of the following:

• set your zimlet up as a drop target, so that users can drag messages over and drop them on the zimlet
• use a search to get a set of messages to work with
• implement the onMsgView(msg, oldmsg) method in your zimlet - it'll get called when the user switches to a new message

scotty , thanx a Lot . i think il start with the third option .
Since i dont need a drag and drop thing .
I need to automatically fetch the From and subject fields mainly and store in a variable , soon as i click a mail or switch to other mail .

Hi Scotty ,after implementing the onMsgView(msg, oldmsg) , in a normal mail(ie from same Domain) am able to get the from field by :

var from = msg.getAddress(AjxEmailAddress.FROM);
var address = msg.getAddress(AjxEmailAddress.FROM).address;

and subject by simply calling ::
msg.subject

I gave an alert statement like this
alert('msg.subject ::'+msg.subject+':: oldMsg.subject ::'+oldMsg.subject);

But the only problem am facing is am not getting the Subject or a From field when the mail comes from some other Domain .
Like a Voicemail that am receiving the From value doesnt show up , and its same for the subject .
It cannot fetch the msg.subject from the mail but surprisingly when i click some other mail in my mailbox , this time oldMsg.subject field gives the value of the previous VoiceMail Subject and msg.subject gives the value of the present mail ( which is clicked ) .

Do u have a clue of this behavior ?
I hope am able to make u understand .

Thanks in advance .
