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

Dim mailman As Chilkat.MailMan
Set mailman = Chilkat.NewMailMan

mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.my-mail-server.com"
mailman.SmtpUsername = "MY_SMTP_USERNAME"
mailman.SmtpPassword = "MY_SMTP_PASSWORD"

' To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

' Add some attachments.
' The AddFileAttachment method returns the value of the content-type it chose for the attachment.

contentType = email.AddFileAttachment("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")
If (email.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.Print email.LastErrorText

End If

contentType = email.AddFileAttachment("qa_data/pdf/fishing.pdf")

' We see the following in the e1.eml
' Notice that Chilkat replaced the full path with just the filename.
' The full local path is not part of the email that gets sent..

' ...
' --------------020807050607070004010609
' Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="starfish.jpg"
' Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
' Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="starfish.jpg"

' Before sending, each filename can be changed within the email object.
