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

$oMime = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Mime")

;  The contents of this MIME file are shown below, 
;  and is also available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/sampleMime.txt
$bSuccess = $oMime.LoadMimeFile("qa_data/mime/sampleMime.txt")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oMime.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
;  
;  multipart/alternative
;      text/plain
;      multipart/related
;          text/html
;          image/jpeg
;  

;  Adding a top-level MIME header is easy.
$oMime.AddHeaderField("hello-world","Hello World!")
;  If a header field of the same name already exists, the AddHeaderField
;  method adds a duplicate.
$oMime.AddHeaderField("Subject","This is the 2nd Subject header.")
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetEntireHead() & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("-" & @CRLF)

;  The top-level header now looks like this:
;  
;  	Subject: Test email.
;  	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
;  	MIME-Version: 1.0
;  	hello-world: Hello World!
;  	Subject: This is the 2nd Subject header.
;  

;  The RemoveHeaderField method can remove the 1st occurrance, or all occurrences.
Local $bAllOccurrences = True
;  Remove all occurrences of the Subject header;
$oMime.RemoveHeaderField "Subject",$bAllOccurrences
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetEntireHead() & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("-" & @CRLF)

;  After removing all Subject header fields, the top-level header now looks like this:
;  
;  Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
;  MIME-Version: 1.0
;  hello-world: Hello World!
;  

;  The content of a header field can be updated by calling SetHeaderField.
;  If the header field does not already exist, it is added.  Otherwise it is updated.
;  Note: The order of header fields SHOULD never matter.
$oMime.SetHeaderField("hello-world","Goodbye World.")
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetEntireHead() & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("-" & @CRLF)

;  Now we have:
;  
;  	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
;  	MIME-Version: 1.0
;  	hello-world: Goodbye World.
;  

;  To add/update/delete header fields in sub-parts, navigate to
;  the sub-part and do the same..

$oMpRelated = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Mime")
$oMime.PartAt(1,$oMpRelated)

$oPJpg = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Mime")
$oMpRelated.PartAt(1,$oPJpg)

;  Add a header to the image/jpeg sub-header.
$oPJpg.SetHeaderField("CustomHeader","This is the custom header value.")

;  View the entire MIME..
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetMime() & @CRLF)
