Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to add email conversion features inside your applications. Email conversion is the process of transforming emails from one format to another. This can be useful for a variety of reasons, such as making emails easier to read, or to make them compatible with different email clients.
How Aspose.Total Helps for EML to DOT Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides developers with the tools they need to create powerful applications. It includes two APIs that can be used to convert emails from EML to HTML and then from HTML to DOT.
The Aspose.Email for C++ API can be used to convert EML files to HTML. This API provides a wide range of features, such as the ability to read and write emails in various formats, and the ability to convert emails from one format to another.
The Aspose.Words for C++ API can then be used to export HTML to DOT. This API provides a range of features for working with documents, such as the ability to create, edit, and convert documents from one format to another.
By using both of these APIs, developers can easily convert emails from EML to DOT. Aspose.Total for C++ provides developers with a comprehensive suite of APIs that can be used to create powerful applications.
C++ API to Convert EML to DOT
- Open EML file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert EML to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to DOT format using Save method and set Dot 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 EML file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.eml");
// save EML 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 Dot as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Dot");
Parse EML File via C++
Not only you can convert your EML to DOT, but you can read, manipulate, and parse EML 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.eml");
// 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 DOT File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from EML to DOT. 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.Dot");
