Dear Steve,
I retrieved the parameters from the packet-smtp.c /dissect_smtp_data fuction which is used to display the data line by line at the protocol tree. i used a tap mechanism as follows.
1.tap.h
2.tap handler so just add 'static int smtp_eo_tap = -1;
3. smtp_eo_tap = register_tap("smtp_eo")
4.In the actual dissector for SMTP protocol
if(have_tap_listener(smtp_eo_tap))
{
e_info = ep_alloc(sizeof(smtp_eo_t));
e_info->pkt_num = pinfo->fd->num;
e_info->sender = (gchar*)temp;
e_info->reciever = (gchar*)temp2;
e_info->subject = (gchar*)temp3;
e_info->time = (gchar*)temp4;
tap_queue_packet(smtp_eo_tap, pinfo, e_info);
}
5. Interfacing the application using 3 callbacks and two functions.
N.B 1.temp contains a line of string which starts FROM
2.temp2 To and so on
But, the content of the parameter doesnot display on the GUI. Please can u help me any idea how to solve this problem. Thank u in advance.

If the contents of the e-mails are gathered also, the best place to
display this information is probably via the Export Object feature (File
- Export - Object menu). The only object export implemented so far is
HTTP. See gtk/export_object.c, gtk/export_object_http.c and a small
piece in epan/dissectors/packet-http.c for how this is implemented.
Hint: It uses the tap mechanism to pass the information from the
dissector to the export object dialog.
