Email Message Wrapper Class

Language: Delphi 7 - 2007

Simple message wrapper with builtin styles bug fix.

type
  TMailConnectType = (mctNotAssigned, mctSMTP, mctOutlook);

  TMailMessage = class
  private
    FBCC: String;
    FCC: String;
    FSendTo: String;

    function GetBCC : String;
    function GetCC : String;
    function GetSendTo : String;
    function GetMIMEType : String;              //JGB 21/3/07 added mime handling
    procedure SetMIMEType( sValue : String);    //JGB 21/3/07 added mime handling
  protected
    // Parse the input E-mail recipient string and replace ';' with ',' character.
    function GetRecipientValue(const AInputValue : String) : String;
  public
    From,
    Subject,
    Body,
    MIMEType   : String; // JGB 21/3/07 - access this field directly to find out the MIMEType

    procedure FixHTMLStyleLineStart; // JGB 22/3/07 - Hack to repair a transmission error that results in the leading '.' of a line being dropped in styles during transmission of HTML
    procedure ClearVariableFields;

    property SendTo : String read GetSendTo write FSendTo;
    property CC : String read GetCC write FCC;
    property BCC : String read GetBCC write FBCC;
    property ContentType : String read GetMIMEType write SetMIMEType;  //JGB 21/3/07 added mime handling. Automatically translates
                                                                       //'plain','html','xml','rtf', 'pdf' and allows anything else through
                                                                       ///as-is
  end;

const
  CMailConnectNotAssigned = 'Mail connection is not assigned';

The wrapper uses a simplified MIME type specifier. To assist the conversion code is preproduced below:

//JGB 21/3/07 added mime handling
// Simple routine to map short strings to full mime types - just simplifies enduser handling a bit
// Automatically translates 'plain','html','xml','rtf' and allows anything else through as-is
function TMailMessage.GetMIMEType: String;
begin
  result := '';
  case bpcWSIndexOfList( MIMEType, ['','text/plain','text/html','text/xml','text/richtext','application/pdf'] ) of
  -1 : result := MIMEType;  // Unknown Type - return it anyway
  0 : result := 'plain';
  1 : result := 'plain';
  2 : result := 'html';
  3 : result := 'xml';
  4 : result := 'rtf';
  5 : result := 'pdf';
  end;
end;


//JGB 21/3/07 added mime handling
// Simple routine to map short strings to full mime types - just simplifies enduser handling a bit
// Automatically translates 'plain','html','xml','rtf' and allows anything else through as-is
procedure TMailMessage.SetMIMEType(sValue: String);
begin
  case bpcWSIndexOfList( sValue, ['','plain','html','xml','rtf','pdf'] ) of
  -1 : MIMEType := sValue;       // Unknown Type - allow direct assignment anyway
  0 : MIMEType := 'text/plain';
  1 : MIMEType := 'text/plain';
  2 : MIMEType := 'text/html';
  3 : MIMEType := 'text/xml';
  4 : MIMEType := 'text/richtext';
  5 : MIMEType := 'application/pdf';
  end;
end;
