VB.NET example code showing how to send mail using gb2312 or big5.

        ' Create a mailman object for sending email.
        Dim mailman As New Chilkat.MailMan()

        ' Any string passed to UnlockComponent automatically begins a 30-day trial.
        Dim success As Boolean
        success = mailman.UnlockComponent("Hello World")
        If (success <> true) Then
            MsgBox(mailman.LastErrorText)
            Exit Sub
        End If

        ' Set the SMTP server.
        mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.earthlink.net"

        ' Create an email
        Dim email As New Chilkat.Email()

        ' Set the basic email stuff: body, subject, "from", "to"
        ' (This VB.NET source code file was saved as Unicode (code page 1200).)
        email.Body = "香 港 剛 結 束 長 達 五 年 多"
        email.Subject = "香 港 剛 結 束 長 達 五 年 多"
        email.AddTo("五 年 多", "support@chilkatsoft.com")
        email.From = "五 年 多 <programmer@chilkatsoft.com>"

        ' Chilkat automatically recognizes that this email has Chinese characters,
        ' and thus encodes everything as it is needed for the default Chinese encoding
        ' of gb2312.
        ' It is possible to verify this by examining the full MIME text of the email:
        MessageBox.Show(email.GetMime())

        ' We can easily change the encoding of this email to big5 by setting the Charset property:
        email.Charset = "big5"

        ' Now look at the email MIME...
        MessageBox.Show(email.GetMime())

        ' Send the email.
        success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
        If success Then
            MessageBox.Show("Sent email!")
        Else
            MessageBox.Show(mailman.LastErrorText)
        End If
