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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Mime")
set mime = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Mime")

success = mime.SetBodyFromFile("VoiceMessage.wav")
If (success = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( mime.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' The MIME has this header:
' Content-Disposition: attachment;
' 	 filename="VoiceMessage.wav"
' Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
' Content-Type: audio/x-wav;
' 	name="VoiceMessage.wav"

' We don't want the content-disposition to be an
' attachment -- otherwise the email object will self-correct
' and put it in a multipart/mixed format...
mime.Disposition = ""
mime.Filename = ""

strMime = mime.GetMime()
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( strMime) & "</pre>"

' Now load it into an email object:
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Email")
set email = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")
success = email.SetFromMimeText(strMime)
If (success = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( email.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Add subject, TO, FROM, etc.
email.Subject = "This is a test"
email.From = "support@chilkatsoft.com"
success = email.AddTo("Matt","matt@chilkatsoft.com")

' Your email is ready to send.
' (but for this example, we'll simply save it to a file...)
success = email.SaveEml("email.eml")
If (success = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( email.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
