How to send html tags in email body?

[raviksoni]

Hi,

I want to send html tags in email body with following specifications :

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset='utf-8'
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

I am using CImSmtpSettings for smtp settings and I have tried following functions with different parameters , but on the receiving side instead of displaying the formatted output those html tags them self are being displayed(in text format).

smtpSettings->SetBodyEncoding(EMsgOutboxMIME); //// I tried EMsgOutboxMHTMLAsMIME and EMsgOutboxMHTMLAlternativeAsMIME also as function parameters but it didn't work.

I am sending and viewing these emails in gmail.

Kindly help... I have already searched wiki for this and found a few links but didn't get the answer.

Thanks in Advance.

HI,

because the email parsing renderer actually scans for the tags and then displays on the screen. You need to implement your parser if you want to make use of html display itself, or there must be some api , to check if the html parsing can be avoided.
Most likely api doesnt exist. Need to check that out.

Hi mateen_maldar

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
Can you plz elaborate a little more about email parsing renderer. Does this email parser renders works on the sender side or the receiver side and what is its basic function and if I make one then how can I use it.

Thanks again...

HI,

S60 5th Edition C++ Developer's Library v2.1 > Symbian Developer's Library v9.4 > Symbian OS v9.4 > Symbian OS guide > Messaging > Using Email > Processing Email Messages in Chunks

Overview

In Symbian OS versions earlier than 9.4, POP3 and IMAP email MTMs used the rich text format for storing email messages. These MTMs create the entire email message received from the email servers, and stores and commits into the mail store synchronously.

From Symbian OS v9.4 onwards, POP3 and IMAP email MTMs can use the plain text format for storing email messages. The entire email message is not created in the RAM. Only chunks of the message are stored in the RAM at a time, as writing or reading is done asynchronously. This decreases RAM usage and increases the performance of downloading and storing email messages.

The CMsvStore class is modified with the following APIs to enable chunk method:

*

CMsvPlainBodyText
*

CImPlainBodyText

I tried that but didn't seem to help much.

The code which I am using is very straight forward but its not using the encoding which I am mentioning..
Here is the code :

CImIAPPreferences* accessPointPrefs;
accessPointPrefs=SetupConnectionL();

CImSmtpSettings *smtpSettings = new ( ELeave ) CImSmtpSettings;
CleanupStack::PushL( smtpSettings );
smtpSettings->Reset();
smtpSettings->SetEmailAddressL( KEmailAddress );
smtpSettings->SetReplyToAddressL( KEmailAddress );
smtpSettings->SetReceiptAddressL( KEmailAddress );
smtpSettings->SetLoginNameL( KSmtpLogin );
smtpSettings->SetPasswordL( KSmtpPass );
smtpSettings->SetRequestReceipts( EFalse );
smtpSettings->SetSendCopyToSelf( ESendCopyAsBccRecipient );
smtpSettings->SetSendMessageOption( ESendMessageImmediately );
smtpSettings->SetServerAddressL( KServerAddress );
smtpSettings->SetPort( KSMTPDefaultPortNumber );
smtpSettings->SetSecureSockets( ETrue );
smtpSettings->SetSMTPAuth(EFalse);
smtpSettings->SetBodyEncoding(EMsgOutboxNoAlgorithm); // this function does not seem to work with any parameter...

RSendAs send;
User::LeaveIfError(send.Connect());
CleanupClosePushL(send);
RSendAsMessage sendAsMessage;
sendAsMessage.CreateL(send, KUidMsgTypeSMTP);
CleanupClosePushL(sendAsMessage);
sendAsMessage.SetSubjectL(_L("Welcome back to symbian"));
sendAsMessage.AddRecipientL(_L("abc.xyz@gmail.com"),RSendAsMessage::ESendAsRecipientTo);

TBuf<100> obj;
sendAsMessage.SetBodyTextL(_L("<html><body>Some more html tags</body></html>"));

sendAsMessage.SendMessageAndCloseL();
iRunning = ETrue;
_LIT(KConnecting,"Connecting...");
CleanupStack::Pop();
CleanupStack::Pop();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();

Whatever I html tags I give they appear as it is in the email body...
The email always go as multipart msg(independent of selected encoding) and first part is alway plain text and sencond part is text/html type and base64 encoding...

Plz anybody help...
