Aspose.Email for C++ is a powerful API that helps developers to work with various email file formats. It provides features to convert an EMAIL file to HTML. It also provides features to read, write, and manipulate emails.
Aspose.Words for C++ is a powerful API that helps developers to work with various document file formats. It provides features to export HTML to DOCX. It also provides features to create, read, write, and manipulate documents.
By using Aspose.Total for C++, you can easily convert an EMAIL file to HTML and then export HTML to DOCX. It is a comprehensive package of APIs that helps developers to work with various file formats. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++, which can be used to convert an EMAIL file to HTML and then export HTML to DOCX.
C++ API to Convert EMAIL to DOCX
- Open EMAIL file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert EMAIL to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to DOCX format using Save method and set Docx as SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Format APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp
or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp
.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load the EMAIL file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.msg");
// save EMAIL as a HTML
msg->Save(u"HtmlOutput.html", SaveOptions::get_DefaultHtml());
// load HTML with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"HtmlOutput.html");
// call save method while passing Docx as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Docx");
Parse EMAIL File via C++
Not only you can convert your EMAIL to DOCX, but you can read, manipulate, and parse EMAIL document. You can get subject, address, body, recipients information of the email by using MapiMessage class of Aspose.Email for C++ API. For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using get_SenderEmailAddress() property.
// create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromFile(dataDir + L"message.msg");
// get subject
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
// get from address
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
// get body
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
// get recipients information
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Recipient: ") + msg->get_Recipients());
C++ API to Restrict DOCX File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from EMAIL to DOCX. Adding protection to your document is a simple process, as all you need to do is apply the protection method to your document. You can set protection type to ReadOnly to restrict the user to edit the document.
// create a new document and protect it with a password.
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>();
// apply Document Protection.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::ReadOnly, u"password");
// save the document.
doc->Save(u"DocumentProtection.PasswordProtection.Docx");
