Add a String Attachment to an Email

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email object's AddStringAttachment method, which adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string — no file needs to exist on disk. The 1st argument is the filename that is written into the MIME (it is not a path to a file that is read), and the 2nd argument is the text that becomes the attachment's body. In this example we build a simple email, attach a small CSV file named people.csv straight from a string, and then print the resulting MIME so you can see the attachment embedded in the message.

//  The 2nd argument is the text content that becomes the attachment body.

email.Subject = @"Email with a string attachment";
email.Body = @"See the attached CSV file.";
email.From = @"mary@example.com";
[email AddTo: @"Joe" emailAddress: @"joe@example.com"];

//  The text content of the attachment.
NSString *csvData = @"id,name\r\n1,Alice\r\n2,Bob\r\n";

//  Add the string as an attachment named "people.csv".
[email AddStringAttachment: @"people.csv" str: csvData];

//  Show the full MIME of the email, which now includes the attachment.
