Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

Calls SetBodyFromPlainText to load plain-text into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/plain", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the text.

set mime = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Mime")

success = mime.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial.")
If (success = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( mime.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"

End If

'  Add a few header fields:
mime.AddHeaderField "Description","this is a test"
mime.AddHeaderField "MyId","123"

textBody = "This is the plain-text body"

mime.SetBodyFromPlainText textBody

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( mime.GetMime()) & "</pre>"

'  The MIME should look like this:
'  
Description: this is a test
MyId: 123
Content-Type: text/plain; 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

This is the plain-text body

'  Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
'  For example, to use "base64", do this:
mime.Encoding = "base64"

'  Show the MIME again, this time using the base64
'  transfer encoding:
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( mime.GetMime()) & "</pre>"

'  It should look like this:
'  
Description: this is a test
MyId: 123
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
