Get the Decoded MIME Body Text
See more MIME Examples
Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.GetBodyDecoded method, which returns the decoded body as text. It takes no arguments. Chilkat first reverses the Content-Transfer-Encoding and then interprets the bytes according to the declared charset.
Note: The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.
Background: This gives you the actual, human-readable content of a text part — the two-step decode (transfer encoding, then charset) is exactly what a mail client does to display it. Use it for text parts; for binary content such as an image, decode to bytes with
GetBodyBd instead, since forcing binary through a text decode would corrupt it.Chilkat Visual Basic 6.0 Downloads
