Passing javax.mail.Message on a stream

I am using the JavaMail API to get some emails. I would like to get a Stream of the Messages and then on the other side get the Stream back to a email. Also I don't want to lose any properties like attachments, destination, sender, body, etc....

How can accomplish this?

Ok... I managed to find out the answer how this can be accomplished

we can use the

.writeTo( out );

to write into a OutputStream, send it a InputStream and finally you can reconstruct it using this

Message receivedMail = new MimeMessage( session, inputStream );

problem fixed!

Please check the sample code below:

  URLName url = new URLName("pop3","xxxx",123,"","user","password");
  Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
  Store store = new POP3SSLStore(session,url);
  store.connect();

  Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
  folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);

  Message message[] = folder.getMessages(); 

  for (int i=0; i <message.length;i++) {
      Message message = messages[i];

      //Get Message Properties
      System.out.println("From : " + message.getFrom()[0]);
      System.out.println("Subject : " + message.getSubject());
      System.out.println("Sent Date : " + message.getSentDate());

      //Get Input stream for each message
      InputStream is = message.getInputStream();
      .....
      is.close();
  }
  folder.close(false);
  store.close();

To construct the message backwards:

      MimeMessage newMessage = new MimeMessage(session);
      MimeMultipart mimeMultipart = new MimeMultipart();
      MimeBodyPart attachment = new MimeBodyPart(is);
      attachment.setHeader("Content-Type", "contentType");
      mimeMultipart.addBodyPart(attachment);
      newMessage.setContent(mimeMultipart);
      newMessage.setFrom(InternetAddress.parse("fromAddress")[0]);
      newMessage.setReplyTo(InternetAddress.parse("toAddress"));
      newMessage.setSubject("subject");
