Writing a outlook msg file using java

[Mradul]

Hi,
I am writing a code that reads data (in bytes) from URL stream and
writes the bytes to a BufferedInputStream (msg file).
When i compare the CONTENT-LENGTH value with the bytes written, i see
some difference in bytes.
After checking on Java forums, i found that the MSG files are encoded
and i need to use a UNICODE decoder. Can you please help me out in
finding one. Please let me know as its kind of urgent.


Thanks and Regards,
Mradul

Or how about using Readers and Writers instead of Streams, since the former
are encoding-aware?

Java works internally with 16-bit chars. These are usually converted
to 8-bit chars or char-combos externally. There are scores of
possible encodings. Sometimes they are written with 16-bit Unicode
chars, bit or little endian, with or without BOMs.

You need to identify the one you need to generate. I have written a
little utility to help. See

http://mindprod.com/jgloss/applet/encodingrecogniser.html

You also need some background on encoding.

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/encoding.html

You also need code to generate and read encoded files. See
http://mindprod.com/applet/fileio.html

Sorry to give you so much reading, but encodings are trickier than you
might first imagine.

Thanks a lot Roedy for this info. I am just going through the
procedure that you utilized and trying to implement in my scenario and
in case of any problems I will contact you via this thread.
