MailSystem.Net IMAP problem getting Email body

0
votes

I'm using the MailSystem.NET IMAP functionality to retrieve E-mail.

Connecting and login succeed and I see there are 4 messages on the server. When I retrieve the messages I can read the subject, from/to etc. However, when I read the Email body only a fraction of the body is displayed.

Message msg = inbox.Fetch.MessageObject(i);
Console.WriteLine(msg.BodyHtml.Text);

The code above will display:

<!DOCTYPE

How can I get the complete content of the E-mail body? (Also asked on CodePlex, but there is not a lot of activity there).

Regards,

Michel

What does the fraction look like? What do you get if you use something like BodyPlainText (if there is any)? - František Žiačik
msg.BodyText.Text is an empty string. I will add the fraction to my question. - Michel van Engelen
Can you examine (and post) real raw contents of the message in a mail client? Looks to me like a bug in the library. - František Žiačik

I use a different library now, but when I checked codeplex an answer was provided:

This seems to be the result of last change http://mailsystem.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/changes/59386. I do not know what is the reason of this change, but it seems to be absolute non logical. If you remove it from your source code, the system would work fine.

Try this code:

Message mailMsg = mailbox.Fetch.MessageObject(i);
string mailBodyContent = system.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(mailMsg.OriginalData);
Console.WriteLine(mailBodyContent);

This will return the entire mail body.
