Get a Header Attribute of a Related Item

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.GetRelatedAttr method, which returns a header-field attribute value from a header field of the Nth related item. The first argument is the zero-based related-item index, the second names a header field, and the third names an attribute within it. This example loads an image from a file into a BinData object, adds it as a related item with AddRelatedBd (capturing the generated Content-ID and referencing it from the HTML), then reads the name attribute of the related item's Content-Type header.

Background: Related items (inline images, style sheets) are MIME parts whose headers may carry named parameters — for instance Content-Type: image/png; name="logo.png". Because an image is binary, it is loaded into a BinData object (here from a file) and added with AddRelatedBd, rather than being treated as text. GetRelatedAttr then extracts one named attribute from a chosen header of a specific related part, the related-item analogue of GetAttachmentAttr, so you don't have to parse the raw header yourself.
