Load an Email from a .eml File

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.LoadEml method, which loads a complete email from an .eml file. An EML file contains RFC822/MIME message text. On success, the loaded message replaces the entire current email — recipients, headers, bodies, related items, and attachments. This example loads an EML and reads its subject and from.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    success = email.LoadEml("qa_data/eml/message.eml");

    Log.i(TAG, "Subject: " + email.subject());
    Log.i(TAG, "From: " + email.ck_from());

    //  Note: The path "qa_data/..." is a relative local filesystem path,
    //  relative to the current working directory of the running application.
