MSG_GetMessage 


 

MSG_GetMessage ( fileName ; offset ; length ; rawText ) -> Function result 
Parameter Type   Description
fileName  Text in Filename (path defaults to message folder)

length  Longint in Number of characters
rawText  Text in Raw text (ignores Prefs)
Function result  Integer in Error Code

The MSG_GetMessage command returns the raw text of the message regardless of enclosures. It does not strip MIME headers.

fileName is the name of the file or the full path of the file of which to extract the body of the message. If only a filename is given, the path will default to the folder set by POP3_SetPrefs or MSG_SetPrefs (see Compatibility note). If no folder has been specified, the path will default to the folder containing the structure of the database.

Compatibility note (version 6.8.1): If the MSG_SetPrefs command is not used, the POP3_SetPrefs msgFolder parameter will be used; if MSG_SetPrefs is used, the POP3_SetPrefs msgFolder parameter is ignored.

offset is the character position within the source message information at which to begin the retrieval.

length is the number of characters to return.

rawText receives the text of the entire message. The preference settings for linefeed stripping are ignored and no effort is taken to strip any attachment that may be embedded within the message body.
