Save mail on hard disk in a readable format

[tdesorbaix]

hello everyone,

I'm trying to make a zimlet that allow a user to save a mail by dropping it on the zimlet. But I don't want to keep the original format of the mail.

For us french who use lot of accents we really can't understand mails in the original format.

So to do that I try to get the mail content and to analyse it for finally write a readable version in a file and get the file by a redirection.

My problem is that I don't know how to get the mail content in a jsp file. I want to use a jsp file because I need to get the mail content and to be able to analyse it but I also need to create a file and to write in the file (this is impossible with javascript, no?, and I don't to use an external application (like a php file) if it's possible).

Someone have an idea on how to get it? I already try by using the url of the mail but I get a http code 401 error when I try to load it.

All ideas about how to do the zimlet are also welcome .

Can you pass it to the google translator?
If you do a french to french translation, that might clear it up.

there isn't french to french translation in the google translator. And sorry but I don't understand how it can help me to get the mail.

One more thing that i want to know:
on the wiki about jsp ( http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=ZimletJSP ) you give available fields for contacts and appointements but what are the available fields for message and conversation ?

I find a solution to get the message but I still have a problem :
I try to get the message from param in the <action url> in the xml file

<dragSource type="ZmMailMsg">
		<canvas type="window" width="600" height="350"/>
		<actionUrl target="/service/zimlet/_dev/com_zimbra_test12/test12.jsp">
			<param name="from">${obj.from}</param>
			<param name="to">${obj.to}</param>
			<param name="cc">${obj.cc}</param>			
			<param name="subject">${obj.subject}</param>
			<param name="date">${obj.date}</param>
			<param name="fragment">${obj.body}</param>
			<param name="attachment">${obj.attachment}</param>		
		</actionUrl>
	</dragSource>

I find the param obj.body to get the body of the message but obj.from , obj.to and obj.cc return "undefined". Can someone say me the name of the attributes to get from, to and cc please?

I am having the exact same problem. ${obj.from} returns undefined. Any answer on this?

Welcome to the forum.

If I remember correctly, those attributes can only be use in the js file.
Anyway, since the POST method is not supported by the <actionUrl>, you should not use this attribute in the xml fle.
Even if the whitepaper say you can add the option, I tested and it doesn't work.
Try to have only a very limited amount of information in your url (1000 characters).

If you want to do same zimlet, it is already done. Look here :

<dragSource type="ZmMailMsg">
<canvas type="dialog" width="600" height="350"/>
<actionUrl target="/service/zimlet/com_zimbra_jspsample/sample.jsp">
<param name="subject">${obj.subject}</param>
