with code able print messages console. works flawlessly 100% of time.

however, need store "bodypart" (i.e, actual message or body of message) in string search string using regex. need extract links begining http.

how can convert message string?

thanks

i'm not quite sure asking (because said print out messages ... when print them, why can't store them in string?)

if realy want bodypart stored in string variable:

multipart mp = (multipart) msg.getcontent(); bodypart bp = mp.getbodypart(0); string content = bp.getcontent().tostring();
