ITextPartGetText(Encoding) Method

string GetText(
	out Encoding encoding
)

Parameters

encoding  Encoding

The encoding used to convert the text into unicode.

Return Value

If the charset parameter on the ContentType is set, it will be used in order to convert the raw content into unicode. If that fails or if the charset parameter is not set, the first 3 bytes of the content will be checked for a unicode BOM. If a BOM exists, then that will be used for conversion. If no BOM is found, then UTF-8 is attempted. If conversion fails, then iso-8859-1 will be used as the final fallback.

For more control, use GetText(Encoding) or GetText(String).
