Ruby script showing how to create MIME using different encodings: base64, quoted-printable, 8bit, etc.

# file: mimeEncodings.rb

require 'rubygems'
require 'chilkat'

# Demonstrates how to use different content-transfer-encodings
# such as quoted-printable, base64, and 8bit.
mime = Chilkat::CkMime.new()
mime.UnlockComponent("anything for 30-day trial")

mime.put_Charset("iso-8859-1")
# Begin with 8bit.
mime.put_Encoding("8bit")
		
# Add some Danish text...
mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("Jeg kan spise glas, det gør ikke ondt på mig.")
		    		
print mime.mime() + "\n\n"
		    
#  This MIME is created:
# 		
# 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

# Change the encoding to quoted-printable:
mime.put_Encoding("quoted-printable")
print mime.mime() + "\n\n"
		
#  The MIME is now in quoted-printable format:
