Display Subject field of an eml file

try to use
ContentTransferEncoding

A message body that contains content other than plain US-ASCII text is subdivided into parts. Examples of body parts include text, attachments, inline Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages, alternative representations of HTML pages, and so on. The IBodyPart interface defines a set of abstract methods and properties that you can use to manipulate message body parts.

Body parts are arranged hierarchically in a message that is formatted in MIME; for example, a message that contains only text and attachments has a two-level hierarchy—the first level includes the message content and the second level contains each attachment. The IBodyPart interface supports such hierarchies by exposing the BodyParts property. Navigating down one level from an implementing object returns a collection of objects, each of which exposes the IBodyPart interface.

Each object that exposes the IBodyPart interface provides access to content in serialized format using the GetDecodedContentStream or GetEncodedContentStream methods. Both methods return an ADO Stream object (exposing a _Stream interface) that contains the content in decoded or encoded format, respectively. Content encoding depends on whether the message body is formatted using MIME or Uuencode. This operation is controlled at the Message object level using the IMessage.MIMEFormatted property.

You can also use the GetStream method to return the entire body part and all sub-parts in serialized, encoded format. For messages formatted in MIME, this stream contains the mail headers (such as Content-Type) and the content encoded using the mechanism specified by the IBodyPart.ContentTransferEncoding property.

This is what im doing in a sample vbs file

    Set Stm = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
    Stm.Open
    Stm.LoadFromFile "C:\\test.eml"
    Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
      
    Set iDsrc = iMsg.DataSource
    iDsrc.OpenObject Stm, "_Stream"
'MsgBox "Subject : " + iMsg.Subject
'MsgBox "Body : " + iMsg.BodyPart.GetDecodedContentStream().ReadText()
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f1 = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", True, True)
f1.WriteLine("Subject :" + iMsg.Subject)
llngLength = LenB(iMsg.Subject)
     For llngIndex = 1 To llngLength
          llngAscii = AscB(MidB(iMsg.Subject, llngIndex, 1))
          lstrUnicode = lstrUnicode + Chr(lLngAscii)
     Next
f1.WriteLine(lstrUnicode )
f1.Close()




The eml file has this as the subject
test ąćęłńóśźż ĄĆĘŁŃÓŚŹŻ test

and in my output i get it as
test ¹æê³ñ󜟿 ¥ÆÊ£ÑÓŒ¯ test

and unicode output as
t e s t   ¹ æ ê ³ ñ ó S
x
¿   ¥ Æ Ê £ Ñ Ó R
 ¯   t e s t



What is going on ?

the eml file has subject as "test ąćęłńóśźż ĄĆĘŁŃÓŚŹŻ test"

Ok I got the vbscript to work. I had to use the fields property and then urn:schemas:httpmail:normalizedSubject. I dont like it.

Now I tried to use the same in C++. Im trying to display the From field which should be in unicode because im using
"urn:schemas:httpmail:From" field. Do you know if there is any bug in CDO ? As per documentation all these fields should be in unicode. Only the normalizedSubject and TextDescription fields are in Unicode the rest of it in ASCII.

I dont get it why and this is the code im using..

CoInitialize(NULL);
  _StreamPtr  pStm(__uuidof(Stream));

      _variant_t varOptional(DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND,VT_ERROR);

      try {

            pStm->Open(

                            varOptional,

                            adModeUnknown,

                            adOpenStreamUnspecified,

                            _bstr_t(""),

                            _bstr_t(""));

                                    pStm->Charset = "UTF-8";

                                   

            pStm->LoadFromFile("C:\\test.eml");

      }

      catch(_com_error e)

      {

                          AfxMessageBox(e.ErrorMessage());

      }

 

      IMessagePtr iMsg(__uuidof(Message));

      IDataSourcePtr iDsrc;

      iDsrc = iMsg;

 

      try {

            iDsrc->OpenObject(pStm,_bstr_t("_Stream"));

      }

      catch(_com_error e)

      {

                          AfxMessageBox(e.ErrorMessage());

      }

 
                                    Field* p;

                                    iMsg->Fields->get_Item(_variant_t("urn:schemas:httpmail:From"), &p);

                         _variant_t t;

                         p->get_Value(&t);


                         ::MessageBoxW(NULL,t.bstrVal, t.bstrVal, MB_OK);

:) great
thanks for informations

No man. you got it wrong. it only works in VBScript but in C++ never gives unicode although MSDN documentation says if you use
urn:schemas:httpmail
it should always return unicode..

any ideas ?

Ok. The problem was with the CDOSys.dll I had on that machine. I installed SP4 and everything works fine now.
zahaby , just for being the only one who was interested in answering I want to give you 200 points. But i dont know how to do it. Moderator ??
