MIME CurrentDateTime Property

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates the read-only CurrentDateTime property, which returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date including the numeric UTC offset. The example uses it to populate a Date header field.

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

mime = chilkat2.Mime()
success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("Message with a Date header.")
if (success == False):
    print(mime.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# CurrentDateTime returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date,
# including the numeric UTC offset, for example: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600
now = mime.CurrentDateTime
print("Current date/time: " + now)

# It can be used to populate a Date header field.
mime.SetHeaderField("Date",now)

head = mime.GetEntireHead()
if (mime.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(mime.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print(head)
