JAVA MAIL API

The Reply Message or mail using JavaMail API. In this example the Message class includes a reply() method. The reply() method to configure a newMessage with the proper recipient and subject. and then adding "Re" if not already there. no other content add to the message, only copying the from or reply-to header to the new recipient. This method takes a Boolean parameter. That's indicating whether to reply to only the sender (false) or reply to all (true).

MimeMessage reply = (MimeMessage)message.reply(false);
reply.setFrom(new InternetAddress("hellor4r@gmail.com"));
