MIME Multipart Boundary and Preamble Properties

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates the Boundary property, which gets or sets the raw boundary token of a multipart entity (without surrounding quotation marks), and UseMmDescription, which controls whether the conventional preamble text is emitted when serializing a multipart entity.

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

Dim mime As New Chilkat.Mime

//  Create a multipart/mixed entity.
success = mime.NewMultipartMixed()
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(mime.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

//  Boundary is the raw boundary token, without surrounding quotation marks.  Chilkat quotes it
//  automatically in the serialized header when required.
mime.Boundary = "example-boundary"

//  UseMmDescription controls whether the conventional preamble text
//  "This is a multi-part message in MIME format." is emitted.  The default is 0.
mime.UseMmDescription = True

//  Add a simple part so the multipart has content.
Dim part As New Chilkat.Mime
success = part.SetBodyFromPlainText("First part.")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(part.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

success = mime.AppendPart(part)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(mime.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("Boundary = " + mime.Boundary)

Dim mimeStr As String
mimeStr = mime.GetMime()
If (mime.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(mime.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog(mimeStr)
