Extract nested .msg attachment using javamail api

I've outlook email data in the firm of EML files. There are various levels of nesting of attachments.

Is there a generic way to extract the attached .msg and its attachments recursively?

A full piece of code or relevant code snippet would be much more helpful than plain approach.

You might consider using a library called msgparser.

They list some very basic usage examples:

MsgParser msgp = new MsgParser();
Message msg = msgp.parseMsg("mail.msg");

String fromEmail = msg.getFromEmail();
String fromName = msg.getFromName();
String subject = msg.getSubject();

List<Attachment> atts = msg.getAttachments();
for (Attachment att : atts) {
  // do something with attachment
}
