Set the Email Date Header to the Current System Date/Time

Demonstrates how to set the Date header field of an email to the computer's current date/time. Note: When an email object is instantiated, the Date header field is automatically added and initialized to the current system date/time. The need to explicitly set the Date header could arise when loading an email from a .eml. AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

$oEmail = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Email")

; At this point, a new email object has been instantiated, and it
; already has a Date header field containing the current date/time.
ConsoleWrite("Date: " & $oEmail.EmailDateStr & @CRLF)

; We can also get the Date header like this:
ConsoleWrite("Date: " & $oEmail.GetHeaderField("Date") & @CRLF)

; Load a .eml into the email object:
$bSuccess = $oEmail.LoadEml("myEmlFiles/someEmail.eml")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oEmail.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Show the Date that was in the .eml
ConsoleWrite("Date: " & $oEmail.EmailDateStr & @CRLF)

; Now the Date header contains whatever was in the .eml
; Let's update it to the current system date/time..

$oDateTime = ObjCreate("Chilkat.CkDateTime")

$oDateTime.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()

$bSuccess = $oEmail.SetDt($oDateTime)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oEmail.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Now show that the Date is the current system time:
ConsoleWrite("Date: " & $oEmail.EmailDateStr & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Date: " & $oEmail.GetHeaderField("Date") & @CRLF)
