Read Delivery-Status Fields from a Bounce

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.GetDeliveryStatusInfo method, which returns a named field from the message/delivery-status part of a delivery-status notification (DSN). It should be called only for an email identified as a delivery-status notification. This example loads a bounce message and reads its Action, Status, and Final-Recipient fields.
