//  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

//  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
oMailman := CreateObject("Chilkat.MailMan")

//  Set the SMTP server (obviously, use your SMTP server, not chilkatsoft.com)
oMailman:SmtpHost := "smtp.chilkatsoft.com"

//  Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
oMailman:SmtpUsername := "myUsername"
oMailman:SmtpPassword := "myPassword"

//  Create a new email object
oEmail := CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")

oEmail:Subject := "This is a test"
oEmail:Body := "This is a test"
oEmail:From := "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>"
nSuccess := oEmail:AddTo("Chilkat Admin", "admin@chilkatsoft.com")
//  To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

//  To send high-priority email, 
//  add the X-Priority header field with the value "1" 
//  to indicate highest-priority.
//  A value of "3" is normal, which is the same as not setting
//  the X-Priority header at all, and "5" is the lowest. 
//  "2" and "4" are in-betweens.

//  Microsoft Outlook might add the following headers when
//  sending high-priority email.

//  X-Priority: 1 (Highest) 
//  X-MSMail-Priority: High 
//  Importance: High 

//  The X-Priority header alone is enough to make the email high-priority.

oEmail:AddHeaderField("X-Priority", "1")

//  Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
//  The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
//  open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
//  same connection.
