Define a Mail-Merge Replacement Pattern

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.SetReplacePattern method, which defines a mail-merge replacement pair. The first argument is the pattern to find and the second is the replacement text. When the email is sent, the patterns are replaced in the bodies and header fields. This example defines two pairs and prints the count.
