Tcl

Save MIME to a File

Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.SaveMime method, which serializes the complete MIME entity and writes it to a local file. The only argument is the file path.

Note: The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

Background: This writes the finished message to disk in one call — producing, for example, an .eml file that mail clients can open. It serializes the whole tree, headers and body and boundaries alike, so the saved file is a complete, self-contained MIME entity.
