Get a Digest Message as an Email Object

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.GetDigestEmail method, which copies the Nth digest email contained within a multipart/digest into another Email object. The first digest is at index 0; the NumDigests property gives the count. This example loads a digest email and lists each bundled message's subject.
