CharsetOriginal Property

Gets the character set that was used for composing the message.

This property makes sense only when you read an existing message and want to know its original charset. By default, MailBee automatically converts messages into Windows charset during parsing but this can be changed with CodepageMode and Codepage properties. In particular, if CodepageMode is 3, the message retains its original charset and you can use CharsetOriginal property to determine it.

Value Type:	String

Parameters:	None

Remarks:	This property is read-only

Usage example:

Dim Mailer, Msg
'Using visual basic to create object
Set Mailer = CreateObject("MailBee.POP3")
'Using ASP to create object
'Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.POP3")
'In ASP use Response.Write instead of MsgBox
Mailer.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"
Mailer.Connect "mailserver.com", 110, "MyName", "MyPassword"
If Mailer.Connected Then
   If Mailer.MessageCount > 0 Then
      Mailer.CodepageMode = 3
      Set Msg = Mailer.RetrieveSingleMessage(1)
      If Not Msg Is Nothing Then
         MsgBox "Original charset = " & Msg.CharsetOriginal
         MsgBox "Original body = " & Msg.BodyText
      End If
   End If
   Mailer.Disconnect
End If
