Hello Zvone, Yes, the Unicode implementation of the POP3 client is weak. It converts the bytes received to Unicode with current Ansi system codepage. This is direct result of ICS rule #1 to not break backwards compatibility. However, as long as this codepage was one of the windows-xyz, single byte character sets converting back to Ansi with the same codepage should work without data loss and give you back the raw bytes (hopefully). This won't work, for example, with Japanese locale settings.
Note that in MIME headers 8-bit characters are not allowed! Email clients must encode 8-bit characters in header lines properly. MIME text parts might include 8-bit characters with a charset specified in the content-type header, in those cases the (AnsiString) text content has to be converted to Unicode with the charset specified. -- Arno Garrels -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
