Pascal (Lazarus/Delphi)

Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

See more MIME Examples

Calls SetBodyFromPlainText to load plain-text into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/plain", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the text. Pascal (Lazarus/Delphi)

  //  This is the plain-text body

  //  Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
  //  For example, to use "base64", do this:
  mime.Encoding := 'base64';

  //  Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
  //  transfer encoding:
