Append Text to an Email Body

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.AppendToBody method, which appends additional text to the email's existing plain-text body rather than replacing it. This example sets an initial body and then appends more text.

Background: Setting the body (via Body or SetTextBody) replaces whatever was there, while AppendToBody adds to it. That is convenient when a message body is assembled in pieces — for example a greeting, then dynamically generated lines, then a signature — without having to concatenate the whole string yourself before assigning it.
