string strHTMLEmailBody = email.htmlBody;
string strEmailBody = email.htmlBody.replaceAll('<br/>', '\n');
strEmailBody = strEmailBody.replaceAll('<br />', '\n');
string HtmlPattern = '<.*?>';
Matcher match =  Pattern.compile(HtmlPattern).matcher(strEmailBody);
strHTMLEmailBody.stripHtmlTags();

Hi Ajay,

Below is the sample code to send Attachement with some message in Mail :
  
global  class Email {
    
    WebService static String sendEmail(String empid) {                 

        Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
        PageReference pdf = Page.myPage;
        pdf.getParameters().put('id',empid);
        pdf.setRedirect(true);
 
        Blob bfile = pdf.getContent();

        Messaging.EmailFileAttachment efa  = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
        efa.setFileName('Attachment.pdf');
        efa.setBody(bfile);
        String addresses;
        email.setSubject( 'My Subject ' );
        String[] test = new String[] {'abc@gmail.com'};
        email.setToAddresses(test);
        email.setSaveAsActivity(false);
        String messageBody = '<html>Hello </br>' + 
                
           ' <p>Task has been created with below details: </p><br> ' + 
           ' <p>Priority- </p></br> ' + 
           ' <p>Base Date- </p> '+        
        ' </html>';
        email.setHtmlBody(messageBody); 
        email.setFileAttachments(new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment[] {efa});
        // Send it
        Messaging.SendEmailResult [] r = Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] {email});    
        
        return empid;
      }    
} 

you can call this class from any Button as below :

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js")} 
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/apex.js")} 
var result = sforce.apex.execute("Email","sendEmail",{empid:"{!Contact.Id}"}); 
window.location.reload();
Hope this helps you!

Hi Narveer,

Thanks for you reply. But this is not what I am looking for. I am sending email from salesforce for example : Email Quote and I want to get attachment from that email.

I hope you got my point.

Regards,
Ajay

Hello Ajay,

Were you able to figure out how to get attachments from the EmailMessage object?

Thank you.
Sincerely,

hi Guys,
 

I am also looking exactly for the same. I want to be able to process incoming Email with attachments and add them to the EmailMessage record.
I am able to correctly create an Email Message but not able to add attachment to that record?
Was wondering if we have to use something like ContentDocument?
If any of you found something after the last comment on Oct 29, 2018, Please let me know.
Thanks,
Chellappa

Hi Guys,
I think i got the answer. We indeed have to create a Content Document record with all related records like Contentversion, ContentDocumentLink etc.

In Inbound Email messages, attachments are in the form of URLs, we can get attachments from URLs though.

For that, please try the following resource:
