Attaching files to outgoing email.

[Deleted user]

We need to attach an encripted file to an outgoing email sent from JIRA and cannot find any references to this in the documentation.

I don't think you can attach files in the outgoing emails in JIRA without modifying the underlying code. What you can probably do as a workaround is to send out a link to the file by customizing the email content. Not sure if it helps you!

If you are trying to achieve this inside of a plugin, you can construct an e-mail via the standard javax.mail classes.

The hierarchy is something like

• com.atlassian.jira.mail.Email
  • javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart
    • javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart

The MimeBodyPart may contain text, html, binary data - just set the right mime type.

Finally you queue the e-mail, creating a new com.atlassian.mail.queue.SingleMailQueueItem
