Load a .MHT file and send it as email.

'  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
Dim mailman As New Chilkat.MailMan()

'  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
Dim success As Boolean
success = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")
If (success <> true) Then
    MsgBox("Component unlock failed")
    Exit Sub
End If


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

'  Create a new email object
Dim email As New Chilkat.Email()

'  MHT is MIME and therefore can be loaded directly
'  into an email object via the email.LoadEml method.
'  However, if the HTML sub-part of the MIME contains
'  header fields such as this:

'  Content-ID: <BalanceSheet>
'  Content-Disposition: inline;
'  	filename="BalanceSheet"
'  Content-Type: text/html;
'  	name="BalanceSheet";
'  	charset="utf-8"

'  Microsoft Outlook will interpret this as an attached HTML file
'  rather than the HTML body of the email.  Interestingly,
'  Mozilla Thunderbird handles it correctly, but Outlook does not.
'  Google's GMail also handles it correctly.  Yahoo Mail doesn't
'  know what to do and displays nothing -- not even the "attachment".

'  Rather than loading the MHT into the email object, we'll
'  first load it into a Chilkat MIME object and check for
'  these headers.  We want the header fields of the HTML sub-part
'  to look like this:

'  Content-Type: text/html;
'  	charset="utf-8"

'  To do so, we'll remove the Content-ID and Content-Disposition
'  header fields, and the "name" attribute from the
'  Content-Type header.

'  Note: Chilkat MIME is a separate product.  This code
'  would require licenses to both Chilkat Email and Chilkat Mime,
'  or alternatively a Chilkat Bundle license (which includes
'  all Chilkat components).
