local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local mime = chilkat.Mime.new()

-- Add a few header fields:
local success = mime:add_header_field("Content-Type", "text/plain")
success = mime:add_header_field("Subject", "this is a test")

-- Set the body text content via SetBody.
-- (Other methods such as SetBodyFromPlainText, or SetBodyFromFile
-- will also automatically set the Content-Type header based
-- on the type of content.  The SetBody method does not
-- alter the MIME header.)
mime:set_body("This is the body text...")

print(mime:get_mime())

-- The MIME should look like this:

-- Content-Type: text/plain
-- Subject: this is a test
--
-- This is the body text...
