Hi,

I'm using xbsee from Marshalsoft. It is working stable and I'm using it for
years to send email.

Now I want to read a POP3 mailbox with this library. I can access the
mailbox, check for messages, read the messages and extract the From and
Subject. However I can't find to extract the BODY of the mail? I don't find
any function to accomplish this. In the samples mails are imported, but also
no sample which reads the body.

Anyone who can help with this?

Best regards,
Chris Andries

I'm only using see4xb to sedn email - but from what I have found,
reader.prg in the "apps" dir4ectory of the installation should be what you
need. 

This sample gets email + attachements from a pop3 server - via the
XseeGetEmailFile() function - and stores them into a local directory.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your answer, but this isn't reading the content, the body of the
mail. The getemailfile() is the complete mail, with the headers. I would
like to extract the body to save it.

Best regards,

Chris Andries.

as Thomas say : you have to use

Code := XseeGetEmailFile(0, MsgNbr, @EmailName, @EmailDir, @AttachDir)

and than Extract Body from Email.

The body is separated from the headers by two CR/LF pairs - so this is
quite an easy thing to do 

A different approach would be to ask Marshallsoft support.
