Stream Text to the Browser

The following example checks the Mime message for a default textual part by using msg.MainBodyPart. MainBodyPart will return the HTML part (if one exists). If the HTML part doesn't exist, the TEXT part is returned.

This technique for streaming text to the browser is useful for resolving non-ascii charset messages.

[C#]

<%@ Page language="c#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="aspNetMime"%>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO"%>

<script runat=server>
		
		private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{


			//an email on the filesystem
			string filename = "testEmail.eml";

			//open the email
			StreamReader sr = new StreamReader( Server.MapPath( filename ) );
			string emailContents = sr.ReadToEnd();
			sr.Close();

			//this creates a Message from a stream
			aspNetMime.MimeMessage msg = new aspNetMime.MimeMessage( emailContents );

			//send the main body part text to the browser
			MimePart body = msg.MainBodyPart;

			if( body != null )
			{
				//set the charset
				Response.Charset = body.GetCharSet();
				
				//write the body part to the response stream
				body.WriteToStream( Response.OutputStream   );
			}
			else
			{
				Response.Write( "no textual body part found.");
			}


		}
				

</script>

[VB.NET]

<%@ Page language="vb" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="aspNetMime"%>

				'set the charset
				Response.Charset = body.GetCharSet()
 
				'write the body part to the response stream
				body.WriteToStream(Response.OutputStream  )
