Load an Email Body from a File
See more Email Object Examples
Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.LoadBodyFromFile method, which loads the email body from a file. The first argument is the file path, the second is true to create an HTML body or false for a plain-text body, and the third is the charset used to interpret the file's bytes. This example loads a plain-text body as utf-8.
Background: Message bodies are often authored and stored as separate files — a marketing team might maintain an HTML template, or a script might generate a text body on the fly.
LoadBodyFromFile reads such a file straight into the email, with the isHtml flag telling Chilkat whether to treat it as an HTML or plain-text body and the charset ensuring non-ASCII characters decode correctly.Chilkat Visual Basic 6.0 Downloads
