This article illustrates how to get message contents such as from address, send to address, subject, date and the body of the message by using Spire.Email.
Code snippets of how to extract the message contents:
Step 1: Load the mail message.
MailMessage mail = MailMessage.Load("Sample.msg");
Step 2: Create a new instance of StringBuilder.
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
Step 3: Get the message contents as we want.
//get the From address
sb.AppendLine("From:");
sb.AppendLine(mail.From.Address);
//get the To address
sb.AppendLine("To:");
foreach (MailAddress toAddress in mail.To)
{
sb.AppendLine(toAddress.Address);
}
//get the date
sb.AppendLine("Date:");
sb.AppendLine(mail.Date.ToString());
//get the subject
sb.AppendLine("Subject:");
sb.AppendLine(mail.Subject);
//get the BodyText
sb.AppendLine("Message contents");
sb.AppendLine(mail.BodyText);
//get the BodyHtml
sb.AppendLine("BodyHtml");
sb.AppendLine(mail.BodyHtml);
Step 4: Write all contents in .txt
File.WriteAllText("ExtractMessageContents.txt", sb.ToString());
The extracted message contents in .txt file format.
