MailMessage

Overview

The MailMessage object acts as a container for email messages, providing methods to retrieve various components of an email. These include attachments, sender and recipient addresses, email headers, plain text or HTML content, and metadata like the sent date and subject.

Functionality

MailMessage provides a range of methods to interact with email components. First, getAttachments() returns an array of attachments in the email. Second, address-related methods such as getFromAddresses(), getRecipientAddresses(), getCCAddresses(), and getReplyAddresses() retrieve sender, recipient, CC, and reply-to addresses respectively. Third, message content is accessible via getPlainMsg() for plain text and getHtmlMsg() for HTML content. Finally, metadata such as the subject, sent date, and headers can be fetched using getSubject(), getSentDate(), and getHeaders().

These methods facilitate comprehensive handling of email messages, including parsing, processing, and saving data like attachments and content. References to Date and String types in the methods ensure consistent data handling.
