Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

See more MIME Examples

Calls SetBodyFromPlainText to load plain-text into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/plain", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the text. C#

bool success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();

// Add a few header fields:
success = mime.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test");
success = mime.AddHeaderField("MyId","123");

string textBody = "This is the plain-text body";

success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText(textBody);

Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());

// The MIME should look like this:

// Description: this is a test
// MyId: 123
// Content-Type: text/plain; 
// Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
// 
// This is the plain-text body

// Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
// For example, to use "base64", do this:
mime.Encoding = "base64";

// Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
// transfer encoding:
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());

// It should look like this:

// Description: this is a test
// MyId: 123
// Content-Type: text/plain
// Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
