Get and Set the Email Subject

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.Subject property, which reads or writes the MIME Subject header. When the subject contains non-ASCII characters, Chilkat performs the required MIME header encoding automatically. This example sets a subject and reads it back.

Background: MIME headers were originally restricted to plain ASCII, which is a problem for subjects containing accented letters, emoji, or non-Latin scripts. The solution (RFC 2047) is "encoded-words," where such text is wrapped like =?utf-8?B?...?= so it travels safely through mail systems. You work with the Subject property as ordinary readable text — Chilkat handles the encoding on the way out and the decoding on the way in.
