Processing e-mail htm attachment but displayed with spaces

[T. Huizt]

Hello

Trying to autoprocess e-mail attachement but the text is shown seperated with spaces.
Suspecting something with codepages but as I'm totally unfamiliar with this have no idea how to solve it.
Big friend Google didn't help much here.
Anyone knows how to solve this issue ?

any help greatly appreciated.

  try {

            System.out.println("Content type:  " + bodypart.getContentType());

            java.io.InputStream is = bodypart.getInputStream();
            java.io.BufferedReader br = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(is));

            while (br.ready()) {
                String sLine = br.readLine();
                System.out.println(sLine);

Wanted to display a sample result of the code above the forum rules don't allow that.

The chances are that the encoding is one of the two byte per characters encodings such as "utf16" so to test the theory you could try

java.io.BufferedReader br = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(is, "utf16"))); 

The actual character encoding is normally available in the charset field of the content type..

Also: Available Doesn't Do What You Think It Does also applies for ready(). Rewrite your loop:

String sLine;
while ((sLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(sLine);

If you just used "utf16" and have not extract the actual character encoding from the content type then you have just created a bomb that will go off sometime in the future.
