Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

See more MIME Examples

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.

        mime.setBodyFromPlainText(textBody);

        System.out.println(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.setEncoding("base64");

        // Show the MIME again, this time using the base64
        // transfer encoding:
        System.out.println(mime.getMime());

        // It should look like this:

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