java ee javamail how to log out going emails

Question

I use seam mail and javamail to send emails from our java ee web application and would like to log the rendered html of each to be viewed later so we can keep a record of what is being sent.

Has anyone done this or seen it done as there is not a great deal online about it.

Thanks

we use the seam mail m:message tag to create message templates which include el expressions and then is rendered using jsf — Greg222, Dec 14 '15 at 16:07

Not sure about rendered storage - but saving the MIME message itself is as simple as

MimeMessage mimeMessage = ... //the Mail you just sent try(OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("store.eml")) { mimeMessage.writeTo(os); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); //Deal with it }

From this format you can always reconstruct all the parts sent to the recipient.
