POP3: Some characters are displayed as "???". How to prevent this?
You should set POP3.CodepageMode=1 prior to retrieving messages. This will activate an alternate method of charset conversions.
Dim Mailer, Msg
'Using visual basic to create object
Set Mailer = CreateObject("MailBee.POP3")
'Using ASP to create object
'Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.POP3")
'In ASP use Response.Write instead of MsgBox
Mailer.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"
Mailer.Connect "mailserver.com", 110, "MyName", "MyPassword"
If Mailer.Connected Then
If Mailer.MessageCount > 0 Then
' Now MailBee will convert the body
' into Windows version of the message's codepage
' instead of converting into current system's Windows codepage.
Mailer.CodepageMode = 1
Set Msg = Mailer.RetrieveSingleMessage(1)
If Not Msg Is Nothing Then
MsgBox Msg.BodyText
End If
End If
Mailer.Disconnect
End If
When POP3.CodepageMode=0, MailBee Objects converts messages from their original codepages to default server codepage and this may cause non-latin characters loss. POP3.CodepageMode=1 forces MailBee Objects to convert messages from their original codepages to their Windows counterparts.
