# How to send Japanese email in Python
mailman = chilkat.CkMailMan()
mailman.UnlockComponent("anything for 30-day trial")

# Set your SMTP server's hostname
mailman.put_SmtpHost("smtp.comcast.net")

# If your SMTP server requires a login, set username/password
# mailman.put_SmtpUsername("myUsername")
# mailman.put_SmtpPassword("myPassword")

# Create a simple email, using Japanese characters anywhere possible.
email = chilkat.CkEmail()
# Indicate that input strings are utf-8
email.put_Utf8(True)
email.put_Subject("私はガラスを食べられます。")
email.put_Body("私はガラスを食べられます。それは私を傷つけません。")
email.put_From("を傷つけ <support@chilkatsoft.com>")

# Add a few recipients
email.AddTo("れます","matt@chilkatsoft.com")
email.AddTo("ラスを","admin@tagtooga.com")

# Chilkat automatically recognizes the Japanese characters and chooses
# a typical charset for Japanese email: Shift_JIS.
# Had the email contained characters not representable in Shift_JIS (such as Chinese 
# characters) the component would have automatically chosen utf-8 as the encoding.

# The charset used throughout the entire email can be explicitly changed by setting
# the Charset property:
email.put_Charset("iso-2022-jp")
