    sys.exit()

#  Set a custom headerr field:
mime.AddHeaderField("Content-ID","PDFFile")

#  Load a PDF file into the MIME body-part of the message.
#  Note: This automatically sets the content-type and
#  content-transfer-encoding header fields to appropriate values
#  based on the file extension.  If specific values for these
#  header fields are required, set the ContentType and
#  Encoding properties after (as shown here)
success = mime.SetBodyFromFile("test.pdf")
if (success == False):
    print mime.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Use binary MIME -- the MIME body will not be encoded
#  but will instead consist of the binary data of the file.
mime.put_Encoding("binary")

#  Make sure our content-type is "application/pdf"
#  (It should already be this value...)
mime.put_ContentType("application/pdf")

#  Save the MIME to a file.
success = mime.SaveMime("outMime.txt")
if (success == False):
    print mime.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Success!
print "Success!"
