Problem of retrieving email using Pop3...please help!

[ywchan]

i use pop3 with .NET to retrieve email
it works fine for english only...if the message contains chinese,
the chinese characters sometimes display as base64 (e.g.
=?big5?B?jkfajfdfjkk==?= ) / quoted-printable (e.g.=A2=C8=D8)
I wonder how to convert them back to chinese characters...Thanks

 

[Paul Lesnikowski]

use Convert.From64String for converting base64
quoted printable needs to be implemented by hands

Or try using this library:

It's simple and effective.
Allows sending, receiving and parsing email messages.
Encodes/decodes any kind of attachment.
Includes POP3 and STMP clients.
It's written entirely in managed code.
