Create Multipart/Alternative MIME

Create a simple multipart/alternative MIME message.

Download Chilkat Python Library

import sys
import chilkat


mime = chilkat.CkMime()

success = mime.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success == False):
    print "Failed to unlock"
    sys.exit()

#  Make this a multipart/alternative MIME message:
mime.NewMultipartAlternative()

#  Create a plain-text part and add it to the multipart/alternative MIME.
ptMime = chilkat.CkMime()
ptMime.SetBodyFromPlainText("This is the plain-text body")
mime.AppendPart(ptMime)

#  Now do the same for HTML:
htMime = chilkat.CkMime()
htMime.SetBodyFromHtml("<html><body>This is the HTML body</body></html>")
mime.AppendPart(htMime)

#  Show the full multipart/alternative MIME text which includes both parts:
print mime.getMime()

#  Need to change the boundary string?
mime.put_Boundary("__NewBoundaryString__123")

#  Need to change the charset?
# ptMime is a CkMime
ptMime = mime.GetPart(0)
ptMime.put_Charset("utf-8")
# htMime is a CkMime
htMime = mime.GetPart(1)
htMime.put_Charset("utf-8")

#  Need to change the encoding?
htMime.put_Encoding("base64")

#  Now show the MIME again:
print "---- After Changes ----"
print mime.getMime()
