[Thunderbird] How to extract information from a mail

[Sami Amouri]

Hello,

I'm currently working on a plugin that save mail on a server. I wanted to
know how to extract the subject, sender, date and the body of a mail when
you are reading one.

Thanks.

Subject, sender and date can be retrieved via the nsIMsgHdr interface.

To get the body of a message, use nsIMsgMessageService.streamMessage.
The message service for a particular message can be got by the global
messenger.messageServiceFromURI(aURI).
