[twsocket] Can't compile ICS V6
Hi, I recently downloaded ICS V6 package from overbyte.be and now I'm trying to install it according to the readme file. However, I can't compile it because the compiler gives an error about an unknown _IntToStr (note the underscore) in OverbyteIcsHttpSrv. I'm on D7. What did I miss?

Arno, can I use V7 as a replacement (better, of course!) for my previous version, which (I think) was V5?

Re: [twsocket] Can't compile ICS V6
Arno, please ignore my last mail - V7 installed without problems. Thanks for the hint!! One of the reasons for my update was a problem with the TMimeDecode component, but I guess V7 doesn't behave different here. I have a POP3 mail which has a subject like this: =?iso-8859-1?Q?FW:_Newsletter_-_Gr=FCn_ist_f=FCr_Sie!?= And I need to get a plain text subject from that. I thought that in OnMessageEnd the .Subject is changed to plain text, but it is not. So I need to find a reliable way to detect and convert such subjects into plain text. And I'm quite sure that V7 has an option for it. I just can't find it ;) Michael -Original Message- From: twsocket-boun...@elists.org [mailto:twsocket-boun...@elists.org] On Behalf Of Arno Garrels Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 10:41 AM To: ICS support mailing Subject: Re: [twsocket] Can't compile ICS V6 Kochendoerfer, Michael wrote: > Hi, > > I recently downloaded ICS V6 package from overbyte.be and now I'm > trying to install it according to the readme file.

The effort to move from V5 to both V6 or V7 is the same. Basically you have to rename the ICS units in project's uses clause, prefix them by "OverByteIcs". If you posted custom window messages to ICS object handles some more changes were required. -- Arno Garrels > > Michael > > -Original Message- > From: twsocket-boun...@elists.org > [mailto:twsocket-boun...@elists.org] On Behalf Of Arno Garrels > Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 10:41 AM > To: ICS support mailing > Subject: Re: [twsocket] Can't compile ICS V6 > > Kochendoerfer, Michael wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I recently downloaded ICS V6 package from overbyte.be and now I'm >> trying to install it according to the readme file.

Re: [twsocket] Can't compile ICS V6
Arno, I tried to use TMimeDecodeW, but it won't change its behaviour regarding the encoded subject. So I guess I've to decode it separately from the mail, as soon as I detect 'iso-8859-1' in the subject line. I have another question and I hope someone can help me. I couldn't find useful information yet. I have to retrieve mails via POP3 (currently working!) and decode its textual part, which is then parsed and written to a file. I can see that some multipart messages have a text/plain part, but some others just have several multipart/alternative parts. So I firstly have to find which part to decode and secondly to find how to write just that part to a memory stream and/or file. A (simple) sample which addresses multipart messages would be fine ;) Thanks, Michael -Original Message- From: twsocket-boun...@elists.org [mailto:twsocket-boun...@elists.org] On Behalf Of Arno Garrels Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 11:16 AM To: ICS support mailing Subject: Re: [twsocket] Can't compile ICS V6 Kochendoerfer, Michael wrote: > Arno, > > please ignore my last mail - V7 installed without problems.

MIME decoding of encoded subjects and separate parts to streams is illustrated in OverbyteIcsMimeDemo, which includes several sample MIME emails which you can decode. Once you've saved your own emails to text files, you can decode those with this demo as well. You can also use my MailMaint application, which is written using ICS v7 with the POP3 and MIME components, and which will save all emails in a POP3 mailbox to text files, and decode them. http://www.magsys.co.uk/mailmaint/ Angus -- 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

[twsocket] Struggling with SSL SMTP
Hi all I need to add SSL support to my existing application that includes some automated emailing. A local ISP has told some of our users that they must use SSL for their email - not sure of the reasons but it happened when the ISP linked up with Yahoo. I thought the best thing to do would to use the SSL SMTP demo program to prove that I could make the connection before I coded anything into my program. BUT I just can't make it work. The ISP told the user that to make their Outlook email client work that they just had to tick the "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" box and as far as I know that is all they have had to do. I'm using their Username/Password/SMTP Host/From/Port in running my test. I've tried various combinations of Authentication and SSL-Type with no success - they usually end up with the message "530 Access denied". The following info messages came up when I tried Plain and Implicit and pressed the following buttons:- Connect Helo Ehlo Auth ! Starting SSL handshake Secure connection with TLSv1, cipher AES256-SHA, 256 secret bits (256 total) < 220 smtp103.tnz.mail.aue.yahoo.com ESMTP RequestDone Rq=0 Error=0 > HELO ASL3 < 250 smtp103.tnz.mail.aue.yahoo.com RequestDone Rq=1 Error=0 > EHLO ASL3 < 250-smtp103.tnz.mail.aue.yahoo.com < 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XYMCOOKIE < 250-PIPELINING < 250 8BITMIME RequestDone Rq=10 Error=0 > AUTH PLAIN ci5sY29ub24Aci5sY29ub25AeHRyYS5jby5uegBiZWFyMTAzNg== < 530 Access denied RequestDone Rq=11 Error=530 Access denied I also get "RequestDone Rq=11 Error=500 STARTTLS is not available." whenever I press the StartTLS button or change the SSL-Type to Explicit.

Re: [twsocket] Decoding MIME messages
Arno, yes, the technique is described there - good demos indeed! Being not a big email specialist, I'm rather confused by the number of content-types appearing in different mails. Maybe I can get some valuable hint from contributors of ICS or readers of this list. What I basically need is to extract a text part from each mail, regardless how many contents it may have. Additionally, some senders attach graphics to their mail or put it inline. This is overhead which I don't necessarily need. I need to write a program which gets mail from a POP3 server, decodes its text part on-the-fly and writes it to a text file. Possibly that text part is sent through a parser prior to writing. I've realized the POP3 part and the basic mail processing, but I'm failing on the content separation part. Could someone please put me into the right direction? ;) TIA, Michael Arno Garrels wrote: Kochendoerfer, Michael wrote: [...] A (simple) sample which addresses multipart messages would be fine ;) Most of your questions are answered in OverbyteIcsMimeDemo. -- 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 -- 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

Re: [twsocket] Decoding MIME messages
Arno, generally, the program should be able to extract the most important information of an automated reply to a mail, i.e. from a mailserver when the destination is unknown, mailbox is full, relaying isn't allowed and the like. Some mailservers seem to return the original mail completely, including all original attachments. But those aren't of any interest ;) The program is meant to act as a feed for a database containing some mail addresses, and does some action there (delete mail addresses which don't exist, put a note on mail addresses where the mailbox is full, and the like). But the most difficult job would be to determine which failure is described where and how, in each reply Btw... I saw mails containing alternate/multipart elements, and I'm not sure if there are text/plain or text/html parts inside.

Re: [twsocket] Decoding MIME messages
What I basically need is to extract a text part from each mail, regardless how many contents it may have. The "text part" is not well defined. You may have an HTML message which is not trivial to convert to a text file. Rendered on screen by a HTML rendere, it may looks like plain text but actually it isn't. You may also have an RTF formatted message. Or a plain text part and a HTML part with eauivalent content. You have to handle all the situation by detecting what format it is. You are helped by the various headers. Are you writing an email client, that is a program whose goal is to display messages on screen ? Then you need ICS-POP3 component to retieve the messages, ICS MIME component to extract the parts and as many renderer component as you want to support messages types. Are you writing some sort of automation which uses email as transport and use the data within email for data processing and not to display it on screen as an email ? That's a different thing. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- 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
