MimeMessage not parsing attachments in outlook EML files

I'm parsing/extracting data from eml files using javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage .

 MultiPart multiPart = 
 (MultiPart)MimeMessage.getContent();
  ...//check if attachments are present, then extract it
 MimeBodyPart part = (MimeBodyPart)multiPart.getBodyPart(attachmentIndex);
 String fileName = part.getFileName();

The file name always prints null. How do I know the attachment filename and extension? Without at least knowing the extension, I can't even save the file properly.

Basically, I'm looking for a generic Java library API which parses eml files and gives message text and attachments (recursively?).

Attachments aren't required to have a filename.

If your EML file is in MIME format and contains a file name, but JavaMail isn't finding it, post an example.
