I use the vdsipp.dll to connect to a mailbox w/ the POP3 protocol for work. We used to use Netscape mail, and even if the sender was sending mail with HTML on only the text would show up. We have since switched to Outlook to send mail. Now when I get the message it has all the HTML code in it. Got any ideas what broke, or how I can fix it?

This is what comes back btw:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
<TITLE>Message</TITLE>

<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2715.400" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV><SPAN class=276315917-25112002><FONT face=Arial
size=2>test message</FONT></SPAN></DIV><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>


I only need the part that says 'test message.' How can I easily strip the rest off? And not everyone sends via HTML mail...

You can try using the VDSHTML.DLL in the VDSPACK. Smile

The VDSHTML.DLL will strip HTML tags leaving you with plain text.

Sounds like somebody messed with settings they shouldn't have Smile
Check out Garret's Non-DLL example of stripping HTML at:

Can someone explain to me how Garret's program works? I guess I don't really understand HTML all that well and one less DLL would be good. Thanks guys!

EDIT - Unless I'm doing something wrong Garret's program just loops. Hmmm

Maybe a more complete example might help you:

Code:
  DIALOG CREATE,HTML Stripper Example,-1,0,400,253
  DIALOG ADD,EDIT,EDIT1,6,4,392,95,,MULTI,SCROLL
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,BUTTON1,106,4,64,24,Browse
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,BUTTON2,106,78,174,24,Strip HTML Tags!
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,BUTTON3,106,260,64,24,Save
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,BUTTON4,106,332,64,24,Exit
  DIALOG ADD,EDIT,EDIT2,134,4,392,95,,MULTI,SCROLL
  DIALOG ADD,STATUS,STATUS1,
  DIALOG SHOW
  LIST CREATE,1
  LIST CREATE,2
:evloop
  wait event
  goto @event()

:BUTTON4BUTTON
:CLOSE
  LIST CLOSE,1
  LIST CLOSE,2
  exit

:BUTTON1BUTTON
  DIALOG SET,STATUS1,Working........
  %a = @filedlg("Web pages|*.htm;html;shtml|All files|*.*",Select local file)
  if @null(%a)
    DIALOG SET,STATUS1,IDLE
    goto evloop
  end
  LIST Clear,1
  LIST LOADFILE,1,%a
  rem %B = @text(1)
  DIALOG SET,EDIT1,@text(1)
  DIALOG SET,STATUS1,File loaded

  goto evloop

:BUTTON2BUTTON
  DIALOG SET,STATUS1,Stripping HTML!
  LIST Clear,2
  List Seek,1,0
  %A = @text(1)
  Repeat
    If @greater(@pos(<,%A),0)
      %B = @pos(<,%A)
      %C = @pos(>,%A)
      %D = @substr(%A,1,@fsub(%B,1))
      %E = @substr(%A,@sum(%C,1),@len(%A))
      %A = %D""%E
      End
  until @equal(@pos(<,%A),0)
  DIALOG SET,EDIT2,%A
  DIALOG SET,STATUS1,Stripping completed.
  goto evloop

:BUTTON3BUTTON

  goto evloop


I'm not sure all that works. It's been awhile since I played with this
example. Yes, it loops. It loops until it has gone through the entire
contents of %A and removed any html tags.

This isn't related to the problem at hand, but...

I think we should use a topic title that describes
the problem we're having...

"I dunno what to do..." isn't very helpful when
searching or scrolling thru old posts for info. Wink

Cheers, Mac Smile
