Class Message.RecipientType

java.lang.Object
  extended by javax.mail.Message.RecipientType
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
MimeMessage.RecipientType
Enclosing class:
Message

public static class Message.RecipientType
extends Object
implements Serializable

This inner class defines the types of recipients allowed by the Message class. The currently defined types are TO, CC and BCC. Note that this class only has a protected constructor, thereby restricting new Recipient types to either this class or subclasses. This effectively implements an enumeration of the allowed Recipient types. The following code sample shows how to use this class to obtain the "TO" recipients from a message.


 Message msg = folder.getMessages(1);
 Address[] a = m.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO);
