Create Multipart/Mixed MIME Message

 Chilkat Python Module Downloads for Windows, Linux, and MAC OS X

Python script demonstrating how to create a multipart/mixed MIME message with two sub-parts: a text/plain body and a GIF file attachment loaded from a file.

# file: mimeMultipartMixed.py
# -*- coding: windows-1252 -*-

import chilkat 

# (Python MIME parsing and building example script.)

# Demonstrates how to create a multipart/mixed MIME message
# with 2 sub-parts: a text/plain body and a GIF file attachment.
mime = chilkat.CkMime()
mime.UnlockComponent("anything for 30-day trial")
	    
# Initialize to a multipart/mixed content-type:
mime.NewMultipartMixed()
		
# Create a text/plain MIME part.
textBody = chilkat.CkMime()
textBody.SetBodyFromPlainText("This is the plain-text body!\nThank you.")
		
# Add it as a child to the multipart/mixed parent:
mime.AppendPart(textBody)
		
# Load a GIF file as a new sub-part:
mime.AppendPartFromFile("images/dudePython.gif")
		
# Chilkat automatically generates a unique boundary string.
# Need to change it?  Do this:
mime.put_Boundary("123--ABC--Blah-blah-blah")
		
# Print the MIME message:
print mime.mime() + "\n\n"
				
# Prints this MIME:
# 
# content-type: multipart/mixed;
# 	boundary="123--ABC--Blah-blah-blah"
# 
# This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
# 
# --123--ABC--Blah-blah-blah
# 
# This is the plain-text body!
# Thank you.
# --123--ABC--Blah-blah-blah
