First of all: Please forgive me, I'm not using delphi. However, this
seems to be the right place to ask a question about indy.

When I'm using the IMAP4.Retrieve() method (Indy 10) to retrieve the
body of
a message that contains german umlauts (ö,ä,ü, ...) the returned body
does
eventually not contain the umlaut characters. Instead those characters
are set to '?'.

I've als retrieved the message as raw encoded data. In this data the
umlauts are encoded like this: =C4 or =E4.

OK, I can decode this myself, but it would be much more convinient if
the message class would provide a method to do so. Does anyone know if
there is such a method?

Here's my code (C#):

// create IMAP4 object
IMAP4 imap;
imap = new IMAP4();

// connect to server
imap.AuthType = IMAP4AuthenticationType.atUserPass;
imap.Host = ...
imap.Username = ...
imap.Password = ...
imap.Connect(true);

// open inbox and retrieve message headers
imap.RetrieveOnSelect = RetrieveOnSelect.rsHeaders;
if (imap.SelectMailBox("INBOX"))
{
if (imap.MailBox.MessageList.Count > 0)
{
Message msg = imap.MailBox.MessageList[0];

// retrieve first message (in decoded format)
msg.NoDecode = false;
if (imap.Retrieve(1, msg))
{
// get body
StringCollection body = null;

if (msg.ContentType.IndexOf("multipart") == -1)
{
body = msg.Body;
}
else
{
body = new StringCollection();

foreach(MessagePart mp in msg.MessageParts)
{
if (mp is Text)
{
Text t = (Text)mp;
for (int k = 0; k < t.Body.Count; ++k)
{
body.Add(t.Body[k]);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
