[twsocket] Wiki issue
Hello, I've looked something up in the wiki today and routinely (don't do much ICS related work currently so routinely is months...) I look at the list of latest changes to see how wiki progresses. (Has anybody not yet ontributed? ;-) ) Now I saw that in the last few days 500 bogus user accounts with seemingly random names have been created. Anybody noticed this already? Does this do any harm? Are there any counter measures? (e.g. a log with the IP of those creators and if it's the same IP maybe it can be traced and at least a provide get informed) This is for this time, but I'll most probably return with another thread about TSmtpCli tonight...

[twsocket] SmtpCli and sending mails in international context
Hello, I used SmtpCli in one of my applications (ok still ICS V5 under D2007) and today I found out that I send all mails with charset set to iso8859-1, even when the message body later on contains japanese (ANSI). This is of course not well displayed in Outlook on the receiving site. Even changing the view/charset doesn't change anything for those far eastern languages. For russion setting this to russian (windows) does at least change the chars so they're proper and result in readable text. Allow8BitChars is left on it's default value (remember: I'm still on V5, I will move as soon as I get the time to move this project from D2007 to something newer). DefaultEncoding is set to smtpEnc7bit Any hints for me how to do this the correct way? e.g. find out the user's charset and use that? Or sending UTF8? (does this work with all mail clients?) Or how is normally a mail composed which should look the same in all regions of this world (and which doesn't only contain ASCII chars)? Or would my mail look right on a japanese Outlook/Japanese Windows?

Re: [twsocket] Wiki issue
This has been noticed before. Bogus accounts get created all the time, but you have to have permission to actually contribute. Those bogus accounts therefore do not harm the system, apart from take up database space. Francois (and I believe some other senior developers) have the power to grant you write rights if you would like to contribute to the Wiki :) Lester On 01/08/2012 18:40, Markus Humm wrote: Hello, I've looked something up in the wiki today and routinely (don't do much ICS related work currently so routinely is months...)

Markus Humm wrote: Hello, I used SmtpCli in one of my applications (ok still ICS V5 under D2007) ICS V7 supports D7+, so unless you have to support Windows 2000- you should upgrade ASAP. and today I found out that I send all mails with charset set to iso8859-1, even when the message body later on contains japanese (ANSI). This is of course not well displayed in Outlook on the receiving site. Even changing the view/charset doesn't change anything for those far eastern languages. For russion setting this to russian (windows) does at least change the chars so they're proper and result in readable text. In Ansi Delphi the Charset property must match the message text encoding. In oder to get the current code page call Win API GetAcp() and assign the matching mime charset name from http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets. In V7 if you assign an empty string to property Charset the component assigns the correct mime charset according to current system Ansi code page automatically. Allow8BitChars is left on it's default value This should be turned **off** when you use the MailMessage property it's just on by default for backward compat. (remember: I'm still on V5, I will move as soon as I get the time to move this project from D2007 to something newer). Again, ICS v7 does support D7+. DefaultEncoding is set to smtpEnc7bit That's OK as long as Allow8BitChars is also set to false at the same time, since that will automatically encode the strings quoted printable if required (if any 8-bit chars). Any hints for me how to do this the correct way? e.g. find out the user's charset and use that? Or sending UTF8? (does this work with all mail clients?) UTF-8 is the charset to use, that should work with all common mail clients today. In Delphi 2009+ the component automatically converts the MailMessage.Text to the Charset specified, in D2007 you have to encode the mail message text manually. -- Arno Garrels -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
