Get the Content-Type of the Nth Matching Part

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.GetNthContentType method, which returns the Content-Type of the Nth non-multipart MIME part matching a content-type pattern. The first argument is the zero-based index among the matching parts, the second is the pattern (exact or wildcard), the third is an inlineOnly flag, and the fourth is an excludeAttachments flag. This example reads the content type of the first text/* part.

Background: Where GetNthTextPartOfType returns a matching part's content, GetNthContentType returns its exact type. A wildcard pattern like text/* can match several parts (say text/plain and text/html), so pairing this with GetNumPartsOfType lets you enumerate the parts and learn precisely what each one is before fetching it.
