*  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
loMailman = CreateObject('Chilkat.MailMan2')

*  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.

lnSuccess = loMailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Set the SMTP server (obviously, use your SMTP server, not chilkatsoft.com)
loMailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com"

*  Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
loMailman.SmtpUsername = "myUsername"
loMailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword"

*  Create a new email object
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email2')

loEmail.Subject = "This is a test"
loEmail.Body = "This is a test"
loEmail.From = "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>"
loEmail.AddTo("Chilkat Admin","admin@chilkatsoft.com")
*  To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

*  To send high-priority email,
*  add the X-Priority header field with the value "1"
*  to indicate highest-priority.
*  A value of "3" is normal, which is the same as not setting
*  the X-Priority header at all, and "5" is the lowest.
*  "2" and "4" are in-betweens.

*  Microsoft Outlook might add the following headers when
*  sending high-priority email.

*  X-Priority: 1 (Highest)
*  X-MSMail-Priority: High
*  Importance: High

*  The X-Priority header alone is enough to make the email high-priority.

loEmail.AddHeaderField("X-Priority","1")

*  Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
*  The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
*  open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
*  same connection.
