## Class Message.RecipientType

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.mail.Message.RecipientType

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    MimeMessage.RecipientType
  Enclosing class:
    Message

      public static class Message.RecipientType
      extends Object
      implements Serializable

  This inner class defines the types of recipients allowed by the Message class. The currently defined types are TO, CC and BCC. Note that this class only has a protected constructor, thereby restricting new Recipient types to either this class or subclasses. This effectively implements an enumeration of the allowed Recipient types. The following code sample shows how to use this class to obtain the "TO" recipients from a message.

  >      Message msg = folder.getMessages(1);
  >      Address[] a = m.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO);

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### TO

          public static final Message.RecipientType TO

      The "To" (primary) recipients.

    - #### CC

          public static final Message.RecipientType CC

      The "Cc" (carbon copy) recipients.

    - #### BCC

          public static final Message.RecipientType BCC

      The "Bcc" (blind carbon copy) recipients.

    - #### type

          protected String type

      The type of recipient, usually the name of a corresponding Internet standard header.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Message.RecipientType

          protected Message.RecipientType(String type)

      Constructor for use by subclasses.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### readResolve

          protected Object readResolve()
                                throws ObjectStreamException

      When deserializing a RecipientType, we need to make sure to return only one of the known static final instances defined in this class. Subclasses must implement their own `readResolve` method that checks for their known instances before calling this super method.
      Throws:
        `ObjectStreamException`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
