Get the Plain-Text Body of an Email
See more Email Object Examples
Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.GetPlainTextBody method, which returns the email body having the text/plain content type. It reads the plain-text representation already present in the email object rather than generating one from HTML. This example sets a plain-text body and reads it back.
Background: The plain-text body is the fallback representation of a message — the version shown when HTML can't or shouldn't be rendered, and the form usually preferred for search, indexing, and accessibility.
GetPlainTextBody targets it specifically; if the message contains only HTML, this returns empty (check with HasPlainTextBody), so a robust extractor falls back to GetHtmlBody when needed.Chilkat Tcl Downloads
