*  The MIME has this header:
*  Content-Disposition: attachment;
*  	 filename="VoiceMessage.wav"
*  Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
*  Content-Type: audio/x-wav;
*  	name="VoiceMessage.wav"

*  We don't want the content-disposition to be an
*  attachment -- otherwise the email object will self-correct
*  and put it in a multipart/mixed format...
loMime.Disposition = ""
loMime.Filename = ""

lcStrMime = loMime.GetMime()
? lcStrMime

*  Now load it into an email object:
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email2')
lnSuccess = loEmail.SetFromMimeText(lcStrMime)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loEmail.LastErrorText
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Add subject, TO, FROM, etc.
loEmail.Subject = "This is a test"
loEmail.From = "support@chilkatsoft.com"
loEmail.AddTo("Matt","matt@chilkatsoft.com")

*  Your email is ready to send.
*  (but for this example, we'll simply save it to a file...)
lnSuccess = loEmail.SaveEml("email.eml")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loEmail.LastErrorText
