<section><title>Introduction</title> <p>You can store and restore the incoming

email message using the <xref href="GUID-FB97E0A3-352A-316F-97C6-69E4741A8120.dita"><apiname>TDesC8</apiname></xref> or <xref href="GUID-440FF2B4-353B-3097-A2BA-5887D10B8B23.dita"><apiname>TDesC16</apiname></xref> function.

Ensure that you follow these guidelines while using these functions: </p> <ul>

<li id="GUID-DC272C83-2B74-5A28-A903-1D3385F6E52B"><p>If you want to store

the downloaded email message data as 16 bit, then storing is slow as the downloaded

message in 8 bit should be converted to 16 bit before it is stored. However,

reading and displaying is fast as the email message data is in 16 bit. </p> </li>

the downloaded email message data as 8-bit, then reading and displaying it

</ol> <note> The email server MTM can store the email message that is received

from the external server either as 8 or 16 bit. When the MTM calls the 16

bit version of the <codeph>StoreChunkL()</codeph> function, and based on the

charset information, it must convert the data to Unicode.</note><p>If the

8 bit version of the<codeph>StoreChunkL()</codeph> function is used for storing,

and if the MTM wants the email message to be stored as 16 bit (this is indicated

by the <codeph>TBoolaIs8Bit</codeph> parameter of <codeph>InitialisePlainBodyTextForWriteL()</codeph>), <codeph>CMsvPlainBodyText</codeph> converts

and stores the email message in 16 bit based on the charset information provided

while initialising <codeph>CMsvPlainBodyText</codeph>.</p></section>
