Putting active email subject and its content into variables

[BeginnerDeveloper]

I need a simple way to get an active email's subject and its content into js variables.
Can anyone post some example code?
I would be very grateful for your help.

Try these:

Code: Select all

var msgHdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage;
alert("Subject: " + msgHdr.mime2DecodedSubject +
       "\nFrom: " + msgHdr.mime2DecodedAuthor +
         "\nTo: " + msgHdr.mime2DecodedRecipients +
       "\nDate: " + new Date(msgHdr.dateInSeconds * 1000).toLocaleString());

Code: Select all

// show message properties
var msgHdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage;
var propEnum = msgHdr.propertyEnumerator;
var out = [];
while (propEnum.hasMore()) out.push(propEnum.getNext());
alert(out.join("\n"));

Code: Select all

var msgHdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage;
alert(msgHdr.getStringProperty("subject")); // undecoded "Subject:" header

Code: Select all

var msgHdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage;
var t1 = msgHdr.getUint32Property("date");
var t2 = msgHdr.getUint32Property("dateReceived");
t1 = new Date(t1 * 1000).toLocaleString(); // "Date:"
t2 = new Date(t2 * 1000).toLocaleString(); // "Received:"
alert(t1 + "\n" + t2);

Do you want to stream the message?

Try these:

Code: Select all

// show message
var msgHdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage;
var msgUri = msgHdr.folder.getUriForMsg(msgHdr);
var messenger = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/messenger;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIMessenger);
var msgService = messenger.messageServiceFromURI(msgUri);
var scriptableInputStream = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/scriptableinputstream;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIScriptableInputStream);
var syncStreamListener = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/sync-stream-listener;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISyncStreamListener);
scriptableInputStream.init(syncStreamListener);
var messageUri = msgService.streamMessage(msgUri, syncStreamListener, null, null, false, "", true);
var data = new String();
var count = scriptableInputStream.available();
while (count) {
  data = data + scriptableInputStream.read(count);
  count = scriptableInputStream.available();
}
scriptableInputStream.close();
alert(data);

Code: Select all

// show text
var msgHdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage;
var msgUri = msgHdr.folder.getUriForMsg(msgHdr);
var messenger = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/messenger;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIMessenger);
var msgService = messenger.messageServiceFromURI(msgUri);
var syncStreamListener = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/sync-stream-listener;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISyncStreamListener);
msgService.streamMessage(msgUri, syncStreamListener, null, null, false, "", true);
var contentType = new Object();
var data = msgHdr.folder.getMsgTextFromStream(
  syncStreamListener.inputStream, msgHdr.Charset, 65536, 32768, false, true, contentType);
alert(contentType.value);
alert(data);

Can you help me with extracting email adress from an active email?
I need to extract an email adress of person who sends mail and person who is going to receive it from active mail.
Thank you in advance.

[morat]

Do you want to extract the mailbox without the name?

i.e.

Email Address = John Doe <johndoe@example.com>
Email Name = John Doe
Email Mailbox = johndoe@example.com

Code: Select all

var msgHdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage;
alert(msgHdr.mime2DecodedAuthor + "\n" + MailServices.headerParser.
  extractHeaderAddressMailboxes(msgHdr.mime2DecodedAuthor));
