Add a String Attachment to an Email

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email object's AddStringAttachment method, which adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string — no file needs to exist on disk. The 1st argument is the filename that is written into the MIME (it is not a path to a file that is read), and the 2nd argument is the text that becomes the attachment's body. In this example we build a simple email, attach a small CSV file named people.csv straight from a string, and then print the resulting MIME so you can see the attachment embedded in the message. B4X

Dim email As ChilkatEmail
email.Initialize

email.Subject = "Email with a string attachment"
email.Body = "See the attached CSV file."
email.From = "mary@example.com"
email.AddTo("Joe", "joe@example.com")

'  The text content of the attachment.
Dim csvData As String = "id,name" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "1,Alice" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "2,Bob" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)

'  Add the string as an attachment named "people.csv".
email.AddStringAttachment("people.csv", csvData)

'  Show the full MIME of the email, which now includes the attachment.
