Hi,

I have a problem with reading the mail content:
I use the getBodyText method of the Message class to get the Content of a Plain message. But i have the problem, that the maximum size of the returned string is 2000 characters. If i want to read a mail which is longer than 2000 characters the method just cuts the mail to 2000 characters.
Is there any solution for this problem?

If i check the inbox of my blackberry i can see the whole mail...


Thank you for your help

Michael

I haven't done this, but as a guess, if you leverage the inputstream you can probably get a reader to push the entire thing to a string instead of 2k characters

Thank you for your fast reply. But even with a Stream it does not work. The result string of the stream has still the length 1999. Which is only the first part of the mail:

String current = "";
InputStreamReader ab = new InputStreamReader(folderevent.getMessage().getInpu tStream());

for (;;)
{
int data = ab.read();
// Check for EOF
if (data == -1)
break;
else
current+=(char) data;
}

I tried pulling in a 6000 character message through the message api and it seems to work fine for me on the 7290 emulator running in the 4.0.2 api.

I would've suspected this was a problem with your device email settings whereby sometimes the mail client is set up to read only a set number of characters (perahps 2000), and leave you with a "more" request in the popup menu, which goes back to the server and gets the next batch. However as you say you can see the whole mail, that may not be the problem for you.

Hello,
it really seems to be a problem with the device email settings. The device (the simulator and the real device) first receives 2000 characters of the mail. When i scroll down in the mail it requests the rest of the mail. After that request my application can read the whole mail.
But where can I set this mail size? (for the simulator and for the real device?)

Thanks
Michael
