You should first apply HtmlDecode to the message contents if it is in a form

Hi,

Currently i'm working on developing a component, which
will read all the incoming mails of an smtp server and it
has to decode the actual mail content by using the
encoded content of the mail. I also have the charset used
in encoding the mail.

For eg:
======
If the incoming mail has korean charset as "ks_c_5601-
1987" and encoded string as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
??01??28??°? ?¶???·??·? ??????°? °°??
???????» °??? $?­???? ?¬°???°? ????$??¶?°?

The actual message is as follows:
---------------------------------
&#1571;&#45380;01&#50900;28&#51068;&#44221;
&#47560;&#51648;&#47561;&#51004;&#47196; &#51217;&#49549;&#54620;&#44163;
&#44057;&#51020;
&#51217;&#49549;&#54664;&#51012; &#44221;&#50864; $&#49436;&#48260;&#50640;
&#50672;&#44208;&#54616;&#44256; &#51080;&#51020;$&#51060;&#46972;&#44256;

I've tried to decode the encoded content to get the
korean text using following code:

string rfc1522EncodedString = "??01??28??°
? ?¶???·??·? ??????°? °°?????????» °??? $?­???? ?¬°???°?
????$??¶?°?";

Encoding rfc1522Encoding =
Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
Encoding koreanEncoding =
Encoding.GetEncoding("ks_c_5601-1987");

byte[] rfc1522EncodingBytes =
rfc1522Encoding.GetBytes(rfc1522EncodedString);
byte[] koreanEncodingBytes =
Encoding.Convert(rfc1522Encoding, koreanEncoding,
rfc1522EncodingBytes);
string decodedString =
koreanEncoding.GetString(koreanEncodingBytes);



Can anyone give me few pointers in fixing this.

Thanks in advance
Puri
