how to decode Quoted-printable content to plain text

[milan_dobias]

Hi all,

I need a help with decoding body of incoming email (type MHT).

After reading content of email (body) in Sap Office I get text table with content like this...

But I need to get only a plain text to processing this text ...

Can somebody help me to show how to decode such a content with quoted-printed ?

Thanks a lot for any idea...

Best regards,

MD

Search for the function modules / classes that would convert MHTML to plain text. Otherwise, it should be possible to call an external program for that.

I'm also curious why do you need to do this whole thing... What are you trying to achieve?

Remark: if you receive mails from outside SAP (as it seems here), you can decode the mail initially by creating a custom class (interface IF_INBOUND_EXIT_BCS) + doing some customizing in transaction SO50. You receive an object of type CL_SEND_REQUEST_BCS. See [sap library|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f8/5f633acc19a33be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm] for more information.

What do you use to read it? Maybe you use the wrong method? (or not a one which fits the best)

Anyhow, if you want to decode the mime data, here is the general algorithm:

1) Use CALL METHOD cl_bcom_mime=>as_reference as the first command to parse mime data.

2) This method returns an object (probably of type cl_bcom_mime_multi_related as your example states a multipart/related mime object) that you can work with (especially using get_bodypart_as_reference_list method).

Hi,

reason, why I need to get a plain text of incomming emails from SapOffice, is that our customer needs a functionality to send automatically answer (as email) for incomming emails. That is a reason why I need to get a plain text to create answer ..

I solved my problem using class cl_crm_email_utility_base....There is an example of my solution.

Thanks a lot for Your answer...

Hi Milan,

thank you for the feedback and for the solution.

I think that, ideally, you should have used the user exit I mentioned above.

Well, if it works now, that's fine!
