Read message

The following example shows you how to open an existing file and display some of message's properties.

C++ example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "independentsoft/msg/message.hpp"

using namespace independentsoft::msg;

int main()
{
    Message message("c:/temp/message.msg");

    auto str = [](const opt_text& s) -> std::string {
        if (!s) return {};
        std::string r;
        for (char16_t c : *s) r += static_cast<char>(c);
        return r;
    };

    std::cout << "Subject: " << str(message.subject()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "SenderName: " << str(message.sender_name()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "SenderEmailAddress: " << str(message.sender_email_address()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "ReceivedByName: " << str(message.received_by_name()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "ReceivedByEmailAddress: " << str(message.received_by_email_address()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "DisplayTo: " << str(message.display_to()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "DisplayCc: " << str(message.display_cc()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "Body: " << str(message.body()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "-----------------------------------------------------------------------\n";
    std::cout << "BodyHtmlText: " << str(message.body_html_text()) << "\n";
    return 0;
}
