Create a Message Disposition Notification (MDN)

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.ToMdn method, which creates a new MDN (Message Disposition Notification) email in the format specified by RFC 3798, based on this email. The generated MDN is returned in the last argument, and the source email is not modified. The first argument is the human-readable message, the second is the disposition fields, and the third indicates whether to include headers only. This example builds an MDN for a received message.

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

//  Demonstrates the ToMdn method, which creates a new MDN (Message Disposition Notification)
//  email (RFC 3798) based on this email.  The generated MDN is returned in the last argument.
//  The source email is not modified.

Dim email As New Chilkat.Email

success = email.LoadEml("qa_data/eml/received.eml")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(email.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

//  Create an MDN (read receipt) for the received message.  The 1st argument is the
//  human-readable message, the 2nd is the disposition fields, and the 3rd (headerOnly) is false.
Dim mdn As New Chilkat.Email
success = email.ToMdn("Your message has been displayed.","Disposition: manual-action/MDN-sent-manually; displayed",False,mdn)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(email.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

//  Populate additional sender/recipient fields on the MDN before sending, then send it.
System.DebugLog(mdn.GetMime())

//  Note: The path "qa_data/..." is a relative local filesystem path,
//  relative to the current working directory of the running application.
