Hello support

Working on a customized contact/calendar processor, Upgrading from System.Net.Mail, does your mime .net sdk support this?

eml.AlternateViews.Add(New AlternateView(ms, New ContentType("text/vcard")))

ms is MemoryStream holding the vcf vCard contents.
So need to initialize a new eml mime email instance and add a text/vcard bodypart with the contents taken from memory stream, then save it, that simple.
Thanks for advise.

Found this, but not sure if can help, this adds an attachment rather than body part.
https://afterlogic.com/mailbee-net/docs/ical_and_vcard.html
Create vCard with photo and send it as e-mail
// Add vCard as attachment.
msg.Attachments.Add "application/octet-stream"

Hello Adam,

https://afterlogic.com/mailbee-net/docs/#ical_and_vcard.html#CreateEvent

Here it creates text body part and then fills with the content generated with iCalVCard lib but you can use any other string as the source.

Regards,
Alex

Thank you for the sample, is this iCalVCard lib included with your mail SDK and royalty free?
For calendar will support both v1 vcs and v2 ics?
For contact will support vcf 2.1, 3.0 or 4.0?
Furthermore, seems that main mail message class will alter and damage the mail structure after setting basic properties, how am I being supposed to attach a sample project demonstrating this behave to be inspected?

Yes, it's included.

However, ICalVCard is no longer in active development. We published it as there was no stable known implementation of iCal back then but now it is available.

We recommend using iCal.NET at https://github.com/rianjs/ical.net and MixERP.Net.VCards https://github.com/mixerp/MixERP.Net.VCards instead.

iCal.NET is based on the same code we used in iCalVCard so transitioning is quick.

Not sure what the issue is. What exactly gets damaged, etc.

Email's content type is multipart/alternative

If I load it to the Mailmessage class and immediately save it back, it's fine, if I set a property then save it, a multipart/mixed header will be added to the top of message, causing damage to the body of message, where can I upload a sample?

Could you post the code snippet (with everything hardcoded) to demonstrate your issue?

This works for me (it stays multipart/alternative):
Code:

msg.BodyPlainText = "text here";
msg.BodyParts.Add("text/calendar; method = REQUEST").Text = "ics here";
msg.SaveMessage(@"C:\Temp\1.eml");
msg.LoadMessage(@"C:\Temp\1.eml"); // This can be removed, no difference
msg.Subject = "subj"; // Set some property
msg.SaveMessage(@"C:\Temp\2.eml");

Alex

The whole code:

Using MailMessage As New MailMessage
    MailMessage.LoadMessage("E:\Message.eml")
    'Compare export 1
    MailMessage.SaveMessage("E:\WithoutX.eml")

    MailMessage.XMailer = "Some string"
    'vs export 2
    MailMessage.SaveMessage("E:\WithX.eml")
End Using

The key is using the code against such messages, I've uploaded one sample here:

https://afterlogic.com/mailbee-net/docs/MailBee.ErrorCodes.html

The MailBee classes implementing LastResult property are:

    Smtp class (LastResult property)
    Pop3 class (LastResult property)
    Imap class (LastResult property)
    MailMessage class (LastResult property)
    Attachment class (LastResult property)
    AttachmentCollection class (LastResult property)

The following table lists all the error codes in ascending order:

Smime Class which was referred from its help page does not exist in help.
So is LastResult valid for Smime results too?

Thanks, this helps.

MailMessage.XMailer = "Some string"
msg.Builder.BuildHeaderOnly = True
MailMessage.SaveMessage("E:\WithX.eml")

This will let MailBee know you want to keep the message structure intact.

Alex

Thank you but I'm not so sure if it really helps because this is not something an algorithm can detect when to set the BuildHeaderOnly on or off?

Are you sure it's building the body correctly when encountering the text/calendar and text/vcard parts?

Your algorithm can be pretty basic - if you need to change something in the header but not in the body, you set BuildHeaderOnly.

Sure thing, there is always space for improvement. But currently it's the way it is.

Thank you for your note, but what you suggested is impossible, because the real use is not what I've pasted above, almost most of my usage is importing different kind of emails, so always a new instance of bee emailmessage is initialized and load message from stream will be used, both body and headers are altered, the question is that if you consider this as improvement or bug fix? And if .net api is under active maintenance? If yes, I'm sure the developers will fix it, if you kindly forward the case to them, because this is actually a major bug.

Hi,

it's a bit complicated. The original behavior considered MIME parts with filenames in them attachments. But text/calendars parts do have filename although they are not really attachments. I adjusted the logic a bit so they would be considered text parts. This is probably more correct but may require modifications in software which relied on the old behavior (although it has never been documented).
