I am trying to send reply to a thread (mail) with attachment using gmail api. But it is being sent as a new mail in senders account, but in receiver account it is seen in same thread. This mail should be in same thread for both sender and receiver sides as well.
I am using node js and request-promise module for achieving this. Here is my piece of code. Please have a look and let me know where I am wrong.
let from = req.body.email;
let mailString = '';
for (let i in req.files) {
mailString += '--boundary_mail1\n'
mailString += `Content-Type: ${req.files[i].mimetype}\n`
mailString += `Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="${req.files[i].filename}"\n`
mailString += "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n"
mailString += `${fs.readFileSync(req.files[i].path).toString('base64')}` + '\n'
}
let raw = [
'MIME-Version: 1.0\n',
"to: ", reply.mailContent.to, "\n",
"from: ", from, "\n",
"threadId: ", reply.mailContent.id, "\n",
"References: ", reply.mailContent.references, "\n",
"In-Reply-To: ", reply.mailContent.messageId, "\n",
"subject: ", reply.mailContent.subject, "\n",
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=boundary_mail1\n\n",
"--boundary_mail1\n",
"Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=boundary_mail2\n\n",
"--boundary_mail2\n",
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\n",
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\n\n",
req.body.message = req.body.message ? req.body.message : '', "\n\n",
"--boundary_mail2--\n",
mailString,
'--boundary_mail1--',
].join('');
const id = 'me';
let options = {
url: "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/gmail/v1/users/" + id + "/messages/send?uploadType=multipart",
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${user.options.access_token}`,
'Content-Type': 'message/rfc822'
},
body: raw
};
await request(options).then(async b => {
return res.apiOk();
}).catch(err => {
return res.apiError(err);
})
}).catch(err => {
return res.apiError("Something went wrong!");
})
