Set the HTML Body of an Email

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.SetHtmlBody method, which creates or replaces the text/html body of an email. It does not automatically create a plain-text alternative. This example sets an HTML body and confirms its presence.

Background: SetHtmlBody gives you explicit control over the HTML representation, unlike the general Body property which guesses the body type from the content. For a well-formed message you would typically also add a plain-text alternative (with AddPlainTextAlternativeBody) so text-only clients, accessibility tools, and spam filters have a fallback to read.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var email = new CkEmail();
email.Subject = "Set HTML body";

//  Set the HTML body.
email.SetHtmlBody("<html><body><h1>Welcome</h1><p>This is an HTML email.</p></body></html>");

console.log("HasHtmlBody: " + email.HasHtmlBody());
console.log(email.GetMime());
