Overriding the Charset when Reading Email Message Data

If the email message is stored in 8-bit format, the email application can retrieve the data stored using a new charset that is set by it.

For retrieving the message body text that has been stored in 8-bit and rich text format with a new character set using the RestoreBodyTextL() function, complete the following steps:

1. Use the TMsvId aMessageId parameter of the message body text to get the CMsvEntry class.

2. Use the CMsvEntry::ReadStoreL() method to get the CMsvStore class.

3. Call the CMsvStore::RestoreBodyTextL() method that takes CRichText& aRichTextBody and TUint aCharsetOverride parameters.

4. Pass the new charset, with which to retrieve the body text as TUint aCharsetOverride parameter.

For retrieving the message body text that has been stored in 8-bit and plain text format with a new character set using the RestoreBodyTextL() function, complete the following steps:

1. Use the TMsvId aMessageId parameter of the message body text to get the CMsvEntry class.

2. Use the CMsvEntry::ReadStoreL function to get the CMsvStore class.

3. Call the CMsvStore::InitialisePlainBodyTextForReadL function to get the CMsvPlainBodyText object.

4. Call the CMsvPlainBodyText::SetCharacterSetL function with the new charset ID with which to retrieve the body text.

5. Call the CMsvPlainBodyText::NextChunkL function or the CMsvPlainBodyText::PreviousChunkL function to get the body text in chunks.
