# such as quoted-printable, base64, and 8bit.

# Begin with 8-bit.
mime.put_Encoding("8bit")
		
# Add some Danish message body text...
mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("Jeg kan spise glas, det gør ikke ondt på mig.")
		    		
print mime.mime() + "\n\n"
		    
#  This MIME is printed:
# 		
# content-transfer-encoding: 8bit
# content-type: text/plain;
# 	 charset="iso-8859-1"
# 
# Jeg kan spise glas, det gør ikke ondt på mig.

		
# Change the encoding to base64:
mime.put_Encoding("base64")
print mime.mime() + "\n\n"
		
#  The MIME is now in base64 format:
# 		
# content-type: text/plain;
# 	 charset="iso-8859-1"
# content-transfer-encoding: base64
