Avoiding encapsulated mail in java mail API

I have written code checking the mail fetching the recipients calculating their lengths and based on that calculation forwarding the mail to the same id, its all working fine, but my mail is forwarded as attached mail. i don't want that. i want simple mail to be forwarded.
Please suggest where i am lacking

Sorry i am bit late for posting the complete solution for forwarding the mail on the basis of character length as the text mail instead of attached mail. Consider this as accepted answer. I hope it serves the purpose.

Is it possible to fetch mail source data using Java Api [Mail is not saved as a file]

I am able to get mail subject and body contents using Java Api.
But in my application i received a template in an email which contains a url behind an image. I need to get that url, I found that the url was displayed when i view the source for that email manually.
Remember that i am not downloading the email instead i am connecting to mail server and then reading the mail data for any specific user
Is there a way that i can view the source of email like i am getting the subject of mail.
Here is the code:
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Properties;
public class VerifyEmails {
public Message message;
public int i, n;
public String result;
public void check(String host, String user, String password) throws IOException, MessagingException {
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("mail.imap.host", host);
properties.put("mail.imap.user", user);
properties.put("mail.imap.port", "143");
properties.put("mail.imap.starttls.enable", "false");
Session emailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
Store store = emailSession.getStore("imap");
System.out.println("test1 " + store);
store.connect(host, user, password);
Folder emailFolder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
emailFolder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
Message[] messages = emailFolder.getMessages();
System.out.println("messages.length---" + messages.length);
for (i = 0, n = messages.length; i < n; i++) {
message = messages[i];
System.out.println("---------------------------------");
System.out.println("Email Number " + (i + 1));
System.out.println("Subject: " + message.getSubject());
System.out.println("From: " + message.getFrom()[0]);
System.out.println("Email contents are :" + message.getContentType());
System.out.println("Email headers are :" + message.getContent());
}
if (message instanceof MimeMessage) {
MimeMessage m = (MimeMessage) message;
Object contentObject = message.getContent();
if (contentObject instanceof Multipart) {
BodyPart clearTextPart = null;
BodyPart htmlTextPart = null;
Multipart content = (Multipart) contentObject;
int count = content.getCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
BodyPart part = content.getBodyPart(i);

String test = String.valueOf(clearTextPart.getAllHeaders());
System.out.println("check1" + test);
break;
} else if (part.isMimeType("text/html")) {

}
}

result = (String) clearTextPart.getContent();
String test = String.valueOf(clearTextPart.getAllHeaders());
System.out.println("check2" + test);
System.out.println("plain text: " + result);

Java Mail API: Convert Message to String?

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(
System.getProperties(), null);
Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect("pop.gmail.com", 995, gmailID,
gmailPass);
/* Mention the folder name which you want to read. */
// inbox = store.getDefaultFolder();
// inbox = inbox.getFolder("INBOX");

while ((c = is.read()) != -1) {

}
}
With this code I am successfully able to print messages to console. Works flawlessly 100% of the time.
However, I need to store the "bodyPart" (i.e, the actual message or body of message) in a String so I could search the String using Regex. I need to extract links begining with http.
How can I convert the message to a string?
Thanks

I'm not quite sure what you are asking (because you said you already print out your Messages ... so when you print them, why can't you store them in a String?)
if you realy just want the bodyPart stored in a String variable:
Multipart mp = (Multipart) msg.getContent();
BodyPart bp = mp.getBodyPart(0);
String content = bp.getContent().toString();

Searching for a period or in general by time is done by the server only if you use IMAP to connect.
Example:
SearchTerm term = null;
Calendar cal = null;
cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date minDate = new Date(cal.getTimeInMillis()); //get today date
cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); //add 1 day
Date maxDate = new Date(cal.getTimeInMillis()); //get tomorrow date
ReceivedDateTerm minDateTerm = new ReceivedDateTerm(ComparisonTerm.GE, minDate);
ReceivedDateTerm maxDateTerm = new ReceivedDateTerm(ComparisonTerm.LE, maxDate);
term = new AndTerm(term, minDateTerm); //concat the search terms
term = new AndTerm(term, maxDateTerm);
Message messages[] = folderInbox.search(term); //search on the imap server
If you instead of IMAP use POP3, I guess your only choice is to filter (on the client) on the entire list of messages that you fetched from the server, iterating over it, like #user2310289 was telling you:
for (Message message : messages) {
if (message.getSentDate().after(minDate) && message.getSentDate().before(maxDate))
{
//do whatever you want with your filtered by period message
}
}
I hope I helped you.

You should probably try using pop3s as the protocal instead of pop3 as the following
Store store = session.getStore("pop3s");

You may need to check whether there is some port contention on your server. It may be either due to some other program using the same port sometimes and clashing with your own mail server. Check the server machine for firewall/virus scans/ etc which may block port temporarily and stopping the clients to connect.
