Francois,
I'm trying to write a very basic automation, which should try to detect some
patterns within mails, and if a mail content matches, it should save that mail
for further processing and delete it from the pop3 server. Each unprocessed
('unknown' content) should stay on the server, until there's a handler for that
unknown pattern.
In other words, it should be a system where rules/patterns are added as soon as
they're needed.
What I've done so far is using a TPop3Cli component to read mails (in the first
step without deleting from server) and a TMimeDecodeW component to get the
contents. What's to do next is to separate readable (textual) parts of the mail
and ignore all inlines or attachments.
I don't need full code, but a step by step guideline on how to accomplish it.
Currently I'm trying to use TMimeDecodeEx, which seems toi do what I need.
Michael

The "text part" is not well defined. You may have an HTML message which is
not trivial to convert to a text file. Rendered on screen by a HTML rendere,
it may looks like plain text but actually it isn't. You may also have an RTF
formatted message. Or a plain text part and a HTML part with eauivalent
content. You have to handle all the situation by detecting what format it
is. You are helped by the various headers.
Are you writing an email client, that is a program whose goal is to display
messages on screen ? Then you need ICS-POP3 component to retieve the
messages, ICS MIME component to extract the parts and as many renderer
component as you want to support messages types.
Are you writing some sort of automation which uses email as transport and
use the data within email for data processing and not to display it on
screen as an email ? That's a different thing.
