Roman:
Additionally there are lots of resources on the Internet for dealing
with email. A quick search revealed a list of articles that may be of
interest to you. A couple from the first page that were particularly
relevant are below:
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/despop3client.asp
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20040527.asp
I've written some some email/mime code in the past, and found that,
despite the terseness, the POP, and MIME RFC's such as RFC2045 noted by
Robert are invaluable.

There's more to it then just reading the encoding from a header and pulling
the body through an encoder. First, anything encoded in the header itself
(like the Subject or Sender and Recipient names) use a special way of
encoding, which needs separate parsing. Then, a body can consist of multiple
parts, for different data types or different encodings, which requries
reading more headers and parsing the body into separate sections
Doign what was suggested in this thread will not result in a well working
mail 'reader'.
I suggest reading at least RFC 2045 (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
(MIME) Part One: Format of Internet Message Bodies) and RFC 2047 (MIME
(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part Three: Message Header
Extensions for Non-ASCII Text) or better RFC 2045-2049.
The Hula project has (or at least used to have) code that did what you are
trying to do (take a message from the network and translate it on the fly to
HTML), http://www.hula-project.com/ (the mwmail module and StreamIO
libraries do the work)
Cheers,
Peter

Subject: [Mono-list] Re: Encoding email message ??
Hi,
Read the headers using StreamReader (..., Encoding.ASCII).
If you got the encoding, just use another StreamReader, now
with the specified encoding.
Robert
Sorry, wrong line from the code, I mean System.IO.StreamReader.
System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient Server = null;
System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream NetStrm = null;
System.IO.StreamReader RdStrm = null;
Server = new System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient(MailFetchHost, 110);
NetStrm = Server.GetStream();
RdStrm = new System.IO.StreamReader(NetStrm, Encoding.?????);

Roman,
Sure, but to get to those "headers" I must already have
System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream with some encoding. Are you sure it
is possible to dynamically change encoding of NetworkStream?
NetworkStream doesn't have an encoding. It's transparent.

Hi,
Mail message headers use to have a Content-Type which also contains
the encoding of the message. So you have to parse the headers
first, then use the specified encoding to decode the message.

Im having similar problem. I have written my own mail server and
encoding is killing me. If messages are in Unicode everything is
ok, but in case of any other encoding characters just disappear. :-(
If you will find some useful information how to work around this
problem, please let me know.
In my opinion problem is in the way how I use
System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream

Hello !
Using the System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient i'm reading my POP3 inbox
mail; I want
to convert (encode ??) the message in HTML and render it in a
gtkhtml widget
created at runtime.
It's all ok except the encoding phase. Ho can I do ? Is there a
class in the framework that can help me?
Thanx
Salvatore
