Name

mail::setAppCharset — Set application character set

Synopsis


#include <libmail/misc.H>
#include <langinfo.h>

const char *myCharset=nl_langinfo(CODESET);

mail::setAppCharset( const char *myCharset);
 

USAGE

This function should be used to specify the application's character set. LibMAIL automatically translates names of folders between the application's character set, and the mail server's character set.

Note

LibMAIL supports a limited number of character sets. The full LibMAIL configuration supports the ISO-8859 character set family, most windows character sets, and KOI8-R. Some East Asian character sets (Japanese, traditional and simplified Chinese) are experimental, and have not been fully tested.

Return Codes

This function returns true if the character set was succesfully installed; false if the character set is not supported.
