C++ API to Export EML to MD
Transform EML to MD within C++ application without requiring Microsoft Word or Outlook
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 is useful for archiving emails, migrating emails from one system to another, or simply for viewing emails in different formats.
How Aspose.Total Helps for EML to MD Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides developers with the tools they need to create, manipulate, and convert documents, images, and emails. It includes the Aspose.Email for C++ API, which can be used to convert EML file format to HTML. After that, the Aspose.Words for C++ API can be used to export HTML to MD. Both APIs are included in the Aspose.Total for C++ package. This makes it easy for developers to quickly and easily add email conversion features to their applications.
C++ API to Convert EML to MD
- 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 MD format using Save method and set Md 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 Md as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Md");
Parse EML File via C++
Not only you can convert your EML to MD, 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 MD File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from EML to MD. 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.Md");
