SMTP OCX Version v.1.6 charset

etsch · 2005-02-04

the SMTP - OCX works fine, but we have a little problem :

the charset is us-ascii, but we need iso-8859-1 (most in Germany)

has someone an idee, where can I change this ... ?

Thanks, Jens

If you mean in subject, you must encode it. If you mean in text, I think that there is no problem if you set it into HTML and set the codepage through tag.

I mean in text - we send mails only in plain text, not in html ....

May be that in text of the mail you can use same thing as in subject...

For example if you write into subject this:

=?iso-8859-2?Q?ABC=C8DE?=

it will be showed as

ABCČDE

=C8 mean that it is character 0xC8 (character with this hexadecimal number in charset iso-8859-2 = Latin 2)

I found it in definition of Mail format....

You can send a message with subject 'abcdefghijklmno...' to you yourself on your language and use incoming string for convertion like this:

PROCEDURE EncodedString@1000000000(Str@1000000000 : Text[1024]) : Text[1024];
    BEGIN
      EXIT(CONVERTSTR(Str,'BJBFLASDHFDLFHBDSLHDSFdsfsajhflaskdjfha',
                          'asfdkjsdgfakweqr;sfdkeLDKJFDHFHSGWEPRTY'));
    END;

and after use

SMTP.SetSubject(EncodedString('Message on my language'));

there is one problem: There is not conversion 1 to 1... there is conversion 1 character to 3 character... :-)
