Hi Jeremie and all,
Note that currently mailsender is used quite a lot by standard XWiki
Enterprise features like "send page by email", "invitation",
"registration".
I agree that the mailsender code could be merged with your own component
that currently handles reading emails.
Any other opinion on the mail I sent before. I'd like to publish the code
that generates vcalendar invitations because it could be used in many areas
but without the mailsender modifications it cannot work and rewriting a
mail code that handles vcalendar is tough:
So what would be the approach to add a vcalendar part in emails sent by the
current mailsender ? Can I propose my patches that add the following API:
public int sendHtmlMessage(String from, String to, String cc, String bcc,
String subject, String body,
String alternative, String calendar, List<Attachment> attachments)
which is derived from
public int sendHtmlMessage(String from, String to, String cc, String bcc,
String subject, String body,
String alternative, List<Attachment> attachments)
Note that this API should actually be:
public int sendHtmlMessage(String from, String to, String cc, String bcc,
String subject, String html,
String alternativeText, List<Attachment> attachments)
As this is the way the fields are used since there is no way to change the
content type of the emails from these APIs

Hi Ludovic,
If I may invite myself in the discussion, I have the same questions
concerning the mail archive app I'm writing, in which I plan to add a
"reply" feature on one side, and on the other side add management of
vcalendar parts in incoming emails. Naturally, it would then be nice to be
able to send vcalendar as an email part (or any type of part).
For now there's no "reply" feature so of course I do not use the
mailsender
plugin. But there's the beginning of a "mail" component, for now dedicated
to the mail archive app, and obviously aiming at hiding javamail api
behind, and providing facilities to parse emails headers and parts, and why
not send emails. For now it "knows" how to read and compute most emails
content (text, html, headers, attachments, attached emails), though has
same limitation (including vcalendar).
Currently the api is like that, but is quite draft and unstable (mostly the
update/create*Page that are not even implemented, and IMO should be
removed):
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-application-mailarchive/blob/master/…
What's available from parsed mail body is:
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-application-mailarchive/blob/master/…
Obviously, when all that reaches a final state, it would be nice for a
"mail" and/or "mailsender" component to be shared for xwiki and the
mail
archive app (and whoever wants to bother with mails) needs,
That was for your information,
BR,
Jeremie

Hi,
I wanted to discuss about the future of the mailsender plugin ?
I've been working on a small tool to be able to send a Calendar
Invitation
by email from a Meeting Notes AppWithinMinutes
application and I found
some
limitation in the mailsender plugin, namely you
cannot add multipart
alternative email parts in addition to the text and html parts already
supported by the plugin.
I was able to hack the mailsender plugin to add a vcalendar part but it
does not really sound right to do that since we should support any part
of
any content type, but this is a bigger
refactoring.
I was wondering what the future is for the mailsender plugin. Do we plan
to
make it a component and keep the same
functionality ? Is there a plan for
an alternative component ?
And what would be the approach to add a vcalendar part in emails sent by
the current mailsender ? This would be needed to support the feature of
sending invitation emails which would be very powerfull.
