C# example program to create a simple MIME message with a text body.

// Create a simple MIME message with a text body.
Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();
mime.UnlockComponent("anything for 30-day trial");

// All MIME messages should include a content-type header field.
// The content-type header usually includes the charset attribute
// if the content type begins with "text/".
// MIME messages with text bodies should also include a content-transfer-encoding.

// The SetBodyFromPlainText sets the MIME body, but it also checks
// the content-type, charset, and content-transfer-encoding,
// and if not set they are initialized to "text/plain", "us-ascii", and "7bit".
mime.Charset = "iso-8859-1";
mime.Encoding = "quoted-printable";
// Add some Danish text to make it interesting:
mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("Jeg kan spise glas, det gør ikke ondt på mig.");

textBox1.Text = mime.GetMime();

/* We get this MIME:

content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
content-type: text/plain;
    charset="iso-8859-1"

Jeg kan spise glas, det g=F8r ikke ondt p=E5 mig.
