Offline MSG to EML Converter: Decoding Encoded Characters

When working with encoded characters in MSG files that contain encapsulated HTML, it's essential to set the detection level correctly to ensure accurate decoding. This is particularly important when dealing with RTF files that use different font sets and encodings.

By default, the `CharsetDetectionEncodingConfidenceLevel` property in the Reader or Message class sets a threshold of 0.90, which means that any detection level below this value will be considered invalid. However, if you encounter bad results, you can adjust this confidence level to suit your specific needs.

MSGReader uses the `UTF.Unknown` NuGet package to determine the encoding of encoded characters. When multiple languages are used in an MSG file, it's not uncommon for the RTF to be constructed incorrectly, making it challenging for MSGReader to identify the correct encoding.

In such cases, it may be necessary to manually adjust the encoding settings or remove attachments and save the file as a new MSG file. Unfortunately, MSGReader has limited options for manipulating MSG files.

Despite these limitations, MSGReader supports all body types found in MSG files, including HTML bodies that are encapsulated within RTF. Additionally, it supports almost all common objects in Outlook, making it a versatile tool for reading and converting MSG and EML files.

* Set the detection level correctly to ensure accurate decoding of encoded characters.

* Adjust the confidence level as needed to achieve desired results.

* Use the `UTF.Unknown` NuGet package to determine encoding of encoded characters.

* Be prepared to manually adjust encoding settings or remove attachments when dealing with complex MSG files.

By following these guidelines, you can successfully convert MSG files offline using an MSG to EML converter.
