Howdy,

I'm hoping someone may know the answer to this.. I am using .net 2.0 frameworks smtpclient class object from System.Net.Mail namespace to send emails in a C# application.

It seems that when the email gets sent, it sends it with base64 encoding, though my body of the email is actually encoded using System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

This works fine to read the body in Outlook or to use webdav commands, but when I try to use my pop3 class objects, which I found at: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/despop3client.asp It fails to see the email as multipart and the body is actually just a string of characters like "DFDFKDJ343DFDF" etc.

Does anyone know of a workaround on .net 2.0 class object to make the content-transfer-encoding quoted?

Hopefully this is understandable as to what I'm asking and having trouble with, as I'm new to the .net c# arena when it comes to building custom email apps...

Thanks
 
There has to be a way to tell the pop client what encoding to use when downloading. I'm not sure right off the top of my head but I'm sure that it must exist.
