Hi,

I am using a program which reads emails from a selected folder of MS
Outlook(2003 SP3).
I have noticed the following,
- A mail has the <base href> tag defined in the header of the mail html
- The mail body has a relative tag with <a href>
Once the MailItem.HTMLBody is read the relative tag(<a href>) is replaced
with the full url.

eg. The mail has the following html as the source
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://sample.com/aa/bb/cc"></base>
</head>
<body>
<a href="dd">Text</a>
</body>
</html>

The MailItem.HTMLBody returns the following
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://sample.com/aa/bb/cc"></base>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://sample.com/aa/bb/dd">Text</a>
</body>
</html>

But when Redemption.SafeMailItem is used its html results as per original
mail above(1st html) without the full url for the href tags.
Is there a facility in Redemption to read the html with the full urls as per
MS Outlook mail item?
Redemption ver. in use, 4.5.0.812.

Please advice.
 
AFAIK Outlook loads the HTML blob into an HTMLDocument object, which parses
the HTML.
Redemption simply extracts the HTML body as-is.

Dmitry,

Thanks.
Could you give some hints on how to use the HTMLDocument object so that it
is possible to generate the full urls.
 
You'd think that would be easy... Essentially you need to create an instance
of the HTMLDocument object, QI it for IMarkupServices, then call
IMarkupServices::ParseString. That method fails a lot on real-world HTML, so
you'd then need to QI for IPersistStreamInit and then call
IPersistStreamInit::Load, which is asynchronous, so you'd need to wait until
HTMLDocument.readyState property becomes "complete" or "interactive".
