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.

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

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();

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

string textBody = "This is the plain-text body";

success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText(textBody);

Debug.WriteLine(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:
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());

//  It should look like this:

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