GetAltBody Method

Get message's alternative body text.

[Syntax]
C++: HRESULT GetAltBody( BSTR* pVal )
Visual Basic: GetAltBody() As String
C#: string GetAltBody()

Return Value

This method returns message's alternative body text.

Remarks

In some case, an email consists of two bodies. One is in TEXT/HTML format, and another one is in TEXT/PLAIN format. It is called multipart/alternative format. GetAltBody returns TEXT/PLAIN part of an email.

Usage Example

Sub ParseAltBody( emailFile As String )
  Dim oMsg As ANPOPLib.POPMSG
  Dim nRet As Integer
  Dim altBody, err As String
  
  Set oMsg = new ANPOPLib.POPMSG
  nRet = oMsg.ImportFile( emailFile )
  If nRet <> 0 Then
    err = "error with ImportFile"
    GoTo ErrorHandler
  End If
  
  If oMsg.GetBodyFormat() = 2 Then
    altBody = oMsg.GetAltBody()
  End If

ErrorHandler:
  Set oMsg = Nothing  
End Sub

public void ParseAltBody( string emailFile )
{
  POPMSGClass oMsg = new POPMSGClass();
  int nRet = 0;
  string altBody = "";
  
  try
  {
     nRet = oMsg.ImportFile( emailFile );
     if( nRet != 0 )
       throw new Exception( "error with ImportFile" );
     
     if( oMsg.GetBodyFormat() == 2 )
       altBody = oMsg.GetAltBody()
  }
  catch( Exception e )
  {
    Console.WriteLine( e.Message );
  }
  
  oMsg = null;
}
