(Classic ASP) 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.

' 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")

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

textBody = "This is the plain-text body"

success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText(textBody)

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

' 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:
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( mime.GetMime()) & "</pre>"

' It should look like this:

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