Demonstrates how to send an HTML email with file attachments.
var success = false;
// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
var mailman = new CkMailMan();
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.my-starttls-mail-server.com";
mailman.SmtpUsername = "MY-SMTP-USERNAME";

email.AddTo("Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com");
// Add a plain-text alternative body, which will likely never be seen.
// (It is shown if the receiving email client is incapable of displaying HTML email.)
email.AddPlainTextAlternativeBody("This is a plain-text alternative body...");
// Our HTML will include an image, so add the related image here.
var contentIdStarfish = email.AddRelatedFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg");
