Email with XML Alternative Body

Demonstrates how to create an email with three alternative bodies -- plain-text, HTML, and XML. It is not common to need an XML body, therefore, the Chilkat MIME component is needed to help create the email. Implementing this solution would require licenses to both Chilkat MIME and Chilkat Email (or the Chilkat Bundle, which includes all Chilkat components at a reduced price).

Important: The MIME object is only needed for the 3rd alternative body having the type text/xml. Creating emails with two alternative bodies (HTML and plain-text) is possible using only the Chilkat Email component.
