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 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  final mime = CkMime();
  try {
    mime.setBodyFromPlainText('Message with a Date header.');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // 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
  final now = mime.currentDateTime;
  print('Current date/time: $now');

  // It can be used to populate a Date header field.
  mime.setHeaderField('Date', now);

  final String head;
  try {
    head = mime.getEntireHead();
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print(head);
}
