Dim success As Boolean
success = False

// First, for the purpose of understanding the structure of the MIME,
// let's load the MIME into a Chilkat MIME object and examine the MIME structure.
Dim mime As New Chilkat.Mime

success = mime.LoadMimeFile("qa_data/eml/TMobileTextMsg.eml")
// Show the MIME structure in text format (as opposed to XML format).
System.DebugLog(mime.GetStructure("text"))

// The MIME structure for our test email looks like this:
// multipart/related
//     text/html
//     text/plain
//     image/gif
//     image/gif
//     image/gif

// The HTML part is not considered a "related item" because the related items
// are defined as being related to the HTML part.  Therefore, we should always
// expect to find a text/html part under a multipart/related.  The HTML parts
// is simply the HTML body, and the other parts are the related items.
// If the text/plain part was to be considered as an alternative body,
// then a properly structured email would include a multipart/alternative structure.

Dim email As New Chilkat.Email

success = email.LoadEml("qa_data/eml/TMobileTextMsg.eml")

// We should see 4 related items.
System.DebugLog("Num Related Items = " + Str(email.NumRelatedItems))
// There should be 0 attachments.  
System.DebugLog("Num Attachments = " + Str(email.NumAttachments))

// Find the indices of the text/plain related part, and the text/html related part
