Class Message.RecipientType

      javax.mail.Message.RecipientType

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  MimeMessage.RecipientType

Enclosing class:
  Message

    public static class Message.RecipientType

extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.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);

Field Summary
`static Message.RecipientType` `BCC` The "Bcc" (blind carbon copy) recipients.
`static Message.RecipientType` `CC` The "Cc" (carbon copy) recipients.
`static Message.RecipientType` `TO` The "To" (primary) recipients.
`protected java.lang.String` `type` The type of recipient, usually the name of a corresponding Internet standard header.

Constructor Summary
`protected` `Message.RecipientType(java.lang.String type)` Constructor for use by subclasses.

Method Summary
`protected java.lang.Object` `readResolve()` When deserializing a RecipientType, we need to make sure to return only one of the known static final instances defined in this class.
`java.lang.String` `toString()`

Field Detail

### TO

    public static final Message.RecipientType TO

  The "To" (primary) recipients.

### CC

    public static final Message.RecipientType CC

  The "Cc" (carbon copy) recipients.

### BCC

    public static final Message.RecipientType BCC

  The "Bcc" (blind carbon copy) recipients.

### type

    protected java.lang.String type

  The type of recipient, usually the name of a corresponding Internet standard header.

Constructor Detail

### Message.RecipientType

    protected Message.RecipientType(java.lang.String type)

  Constructor for use by subclasses.

Method Detail

### readResolve

    protected java.lang.Object readResolve()
                                    throws java.io.ObjectStreamException

  When deserializing a RecipientType, we need to make sure to return only one of the known static final instances defined in this class. Subclasses must implement their own `readResolve` method that checks for their known instances before calling this super method.

  Throws:
    `java.io.ObjectStreamException`

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
