I'd like to know how you set the content type when RECIEVING a msg or get the program to auto detect what content type a message is that it recieves and change accordingly. I currently have tidmsg set to plain/html, but the (html)msgs that i recieve are still coming out with html tags. Am i missing something?

I'd like to know how you set the content type when RECIEVING a msg You are not supposed to set the ContentType when receiving a message. It is the sender's responsibility to set the ContentType when sending the message. Quote: or get the program to auto detect what content type a message is that it recieves Did you look at the message's existing ContentType property yet? Quote: and change accordingly. Why are you trying to change it? Quote: I currently have tidmsg set to plain/html, but the (html)msgs that i recieve are still coming out with html tags. Then either 1) the sender did not set up the message correctly when sending it, or 2) you are not processing the message correctly. Either way, you did not show the actual message data or the your actual processing code, so noone can tell you if anything is wrong. Please provide more details.

As you should be. What, you think Indy will parse the HTML data for you? No. That is your own responsibility to handle. If you receive an HTML message, it is your own responsibility to show the content to the user in an HTML-enabled display, such as a web browser.

Quote: And the code for viewing msg: Your code is not taking HTML into account at all. It is treating it as plain text. That is why you are seeing the HTML tags. You need to actually look at the ContentType, see if it is set to "text/html", and if so then display it accordingly. Right now, you are displaying it as-is without taking its actual ContentType into account. Quote: if list.Selected = nil then list.Selected.SubItems.Strings[3]; That is an AV waiting to happen. Look very closely at that code. You are accessing the SubItems via a nil pointer. Quote: list.Selected.ImageIndex:=6; Here, you are accessing Selected without checking for a nil pointer at all. Quote: POP1.Retrieve(list.Selected.Index + 1, Mess); And here too. Quote: if (Mess.MessageParts.Items[intIndex] is TIdAttachmentFile) then As I already told you yesterday, you should be testing for TIdAttachment instead of TIdAttachmentFile specifically. Otherwise, you will miss TIdAttachmentMemory entirely. Both are derived from TIdAttachment, so a single test can account for both types.

Let's say I send a message from Outlook Express to an email account. 2. I then use POP to retrieve it. OE has embed html in the message and when I store the message body in a BLOB the html tags are also stored - no problem. 3. I then send it back as-is via SMTP including the BLOB. 4. OE now shows the message and the html tags are visible. Shouldn't OE know how to handle the html and strip it or is there something I am missing?
