Indy TidMessage.Subject decode question

Hello!

In some cases, message header may contain some language specific (germany,
estonian) characters. I'm not sure if you can read these chars out, but
still, some samples : ?, ?, , ?

In these cases Indy shows the header like this
=?windows-1257?Q?Palju_=Fnne_s=FCnnip=e4evaks. =?
( not important, but should be "Palju ?nne snnip?evaks" or simply in
english "Happy birthday")

My question is : is there a way to decode these encoded strings with Indy or
should a third party decoder be used?

I also surfed in newsgroups and found one similar problem, where Kudzu
indicates that these strings should be automatically decoded....but no
further solution is provided.

Re:Indy TidMessage.Subject decode question


thanks for your answer but this time DecodeHeader will not work, because
this function searches these chars "=?iso" in the beginning of the string.
my current case begins with "=?windows". I already tried DecodeHeader as a
result of your last hint and this fails.

What else do you suggest to try?

Get the latest dev snapshot. A fix for this was just checked in a few hours
ago.

Yes. It is ok.

What you can say about this:

Subject: =?koi8-r?B?4SDUwcvPxSDU2SDXycTFzD8gOy0p?=

;-)))
Or =?koi8-u?...
Or =?ibm866?...
Open registry:
HKCR\Mime\Database\Charset
You can see more than "ISO"
We Russian/Ukrainian (for example) have more than 7 charset's (and well over
aliases: koi8-r can be koi8r, csKOI8-R).
American people have unlimited fun with single "us-ascii" ;-)

PS: Unicode will rescue us...

Everyone is a seperate coding and must be added manually. Be a good project
for you for Indy 10 maybe. :)
