RemoveCharsetFromBody Method


Removes the meta tag containing the charset declaration of the document from the HTML body, and returns the charset removed.

This method scans the contents of BodyText property for <meta ... Content="... charset=..."> declaration and removes this tag from the BodyText value, returning the charset removed. This is useful when you convert the charset of the HTML so that the charset setting in the HTML no longer matches the actual charset of the document.

Note that ImportBodyText method used in the sample below can also remove META charset tag via optional parameters setting. On other hand, if you received an existing message rather than composed a new one, you can use GetBodyWithEmbeddedObjectsEx method to prepare HTML body and strip META charset tag. Therefore, in most cases you'll not need to call RemoveCharsetFromBody method directly.


strCharset = ObjectName.RemoveCharsetFromBody  
Parameters: None 
Return value As String The charset of the message as extracted from meta tag.  

Usage example:

Dim Mailer, strCharset
'Using visual basic to create object
Set Mailer = CreateObject("MailBee.SMTP")
'Using ASP to create object
'Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.SMTP")
'In ASP use Response.Write instead of MsgBox
Mailer.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"
Mailer.ServerName = "mail.server.com"
If Mailer.Connect Then
  Mailer.Message.ToAddr = "bill@yoursite.com"
  Mailer.Message.FromAddr = "joe@mysite.com"
  Mailer.Message.Subject = "Hello"
  Mailer.Message.ImportBodyText "C:\docs\e-mail.htm", True
  strCharset = Mailer.Message.RemoveCharsetFromBody
  Mailer.Message.ConvertCharset Mailer.Message.BodyText, strCharset, "UTF-8"
  Mailer.Message.Charset = "UTF-8"
  Mailer.Send
  Mailer.Disconnect
End If
