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

local mime = chilkat.Mime.new()

-- The contents of this MIME file are shown below,

-- The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
--
-- multipart/alternative
--     text/plain
--     multipart/related
--         text/html
--         image/jpeg

-- Let's get the entire MIME header for the multipart/html MIME part.

local mpRelated = chilkat.Mime.new()

if not success then
    print(mpRelated.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(pHtml:get_entire_head())
print("****")

-- The output is:
--     Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
--     Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

-- Now get the entire body of the mulitpart/related subpart.
-- The entire body is the entire MIME body including sub-parts under the given part.
print(mpRelated:get_entire_body())

-- The entire multipart/related body is:
