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.

//  The text content of the attachment.
cCsvData := "id,name" + Chr(13) + Chr(10) + "1,Alice" + Chr(13) + Chr(10) + "2,Bob" + Chr(13) + Chr(10)

//  Add the string as an attachment named "people.csv".
oEmail:AddStringAttachment("people.csv", cCsvData)

//  Show the full MIME of the email, which now includes the attachment.
