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. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

#  This example demonstrates the Email object's AddStringAttachment method.
#  AddStringAttachment adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string.
#  The 1st argument is the filename to be placed in the MIME (not a file to be read).
#  The 2nd argument is the text content that becomes the attachment body.

$email = New-Object Chilkat.Email

$email.Subject = "Email with a string attachment"
$email.Body = "See the attached CSV file."
$email.From = "mary@example.com"
$email.AddTo("Joe","joe@example.com")

#  The text content of the attachment.
$csvData = "id,name`r`n1,Alice`r`n2,Bob`r`n"

#  Add the string as an attachment named "people.csv".
$email.AddStringAttachment("people.csv",$csvData)

#  Show the full MIME of the email, which now includes the attachment.
$($email.GetMime())
