Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

Calls SetBodyFromPlainText to load plain-text into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/plain", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the text. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

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

Dim mime As New Chilkat.Mime

// Add a few header fields:
success = mime.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test")
success = mime.AddHeaderField("MyId","123")

Dim textBody As String
textBody = "This is the plain-text body"

success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText(textBody)

System.DebugLog(mime.GetMime())

// The MIME should look like this:

// Description: this is a test
// MyId: 123
// Content-Type: text/plain; 
// Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
// 
// This is the plain-text body

// Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
// For example, to use "base64", do this:
mime.Encoding = "base64"

// Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
// transfer encoding:
System.DebugLog(mime.GetMime())

// It should look like this:

// Description: this is a test
// MyId: 123
// Content-Type: text/plain
// Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
