Creating a MimeMessage message from a file

To create a MimeMessage from a file, construct a new MimeMessage instance and pass the byte array contents of the file as the argument.

Example

This example creates a new MimeMessage instance from data read from a file. It is assumed that the filename value is a valid file.

[C#]

FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

BinaryReader r = new BinaryReader(fs);

byte[] data = r.ReadBytes((int)fs.Length);

fs.Close();

MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(data);

[Visual Basic]

Dim message As MimeMessage = Nothing

Dim fs As New FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)

Dim r As New BinaryReader(fs)

Dim data As Byte() = r.ReadBytes(fs.Length)

fs.Close()

message = New MimeMessage(data)
