Hi Mark,

Is there any chance TextSoap 9 could clean quoted printable files? I get these files when I want to convert an email to html to edit or play with it.


There's some guidelines on how to convert quoted printable reliably (there are issues with line breaks): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2226554/c-class-for-decoding-quoted-printable-encoding

It's just complex enough that a single regex might not get it right.

Let me know your thoughts.

Cordial regards,

Alec

I think what you're looking for is the built-in cleaner, "Convert MIME-encoded Characters".
This cleaner will find =HH or %HH (where HH is a 2-byte hex) and convert them to the specified character.
