I have a pst with STORE_UNICODE_OK bit set. When i open the message i can see the subject as having international characters and is displayed correctly. When i retrieve PR_SUBJECT_A i get ???, the famous non-unicode characters. When i retrieve for PR_SUBJECT_W i get the right unicode characters. Is there a way to find out that i have to query for PR_SUBJECT_W and not for PR_SUBJECT_A. ? TIA
I am not sure what you are asking: you wouldn't know that you have real Unicode until you read PR_SUBJECT_W, but then why would you want to read PR_SUBJECT_A if you already have the real thing?

Thx Dimitry. I just mentioned a sample of the situation. I am reading msgs with in a pst and returning their subject either PR_SUBJECT_A or PR_SUBJECT_W . Is it correct to say that we have to read PR_SUBJECT_W if pst has STORE_UNICODE_OK bit set. ? Advise!

Depends on what you are trying to do and why. In general, if you always want Unicode data, check the STORE_UNICODE_OK bit. If set, read PR_SUBJECT_W. Otherwise read PR_SUBJECT_A and use the value of PR_INTERNET_CPID to convert the ANSI string to Unicode using MultibyteToWideChar() Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool "slg" wrote in message news:OyFCOX6hIHA.536@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Thx Dimitry. > I just mentioned a sample of the situation. > > I am reading msgs with in a pst and returning their subject either > PR_SUBJECT_A or PR_SUBJECT_W . > Is it correct to say that we have to read PR_SUBJECT_W if pst has > STORE_UNICODE_OK bit set. ? > Advise! > > > > "Dmitry Streblechenko" wrote in message > news:%23OYGri4hIHA.1208@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >>I am not sure what you are asking: you wouldn't know that you have real >>Unicode until you read PR_SUBJECT_W, but then why would you want to read >>PR_SUBJECT_A if you already have the real thing? >> >> Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) >> http://www.dimastr.com/ >> OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO >> and MAPI Developer Tool >> >> "slg" wrote in message >> news:ecU1g%230hIHA.5208@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >>>I have a pst with STORE_UNICODE_OK bit set.
