    Winsock problem: Characters is replaced with codes

    Hello. I have a program that use Winsock to receive mails.

    The problem is that some characters in a mail the program receives is being replaced with a code or something. For example ¤ is replaced with =A4.

    Perhaps it's a problem converting unicode to ascii. If you transmit in unicode or ascii, and then convert back to ascii or unicode. The code can get messed up, since unicode has a much greater character range. I would use some string conversion, if that doesn't work then it's probably a connection error.

    Looks to me like it's more of problem of MIME type. The program is assuming plain ASCII characters.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
