i'm using the following code to view a mail in a javamail application problem i'm facing is if there are any attachments of .txt format they are also displayed as if they are body of the mail. Secondly in some mails i'm getting the following Exception :

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to javax.mail.Multipart

also pls guide me how to extract the body and attachments of the mail

Code which i've used is :
