;  A DSN email is a report about the attempt to delivery 
;  an email.  It is usually a report that indicates failure or
;  or a delay in delivery.  The DSN is typically sent back to
;  the sender of an email.

;  IMPORTANT:
;  Note: Please be careful in sending automated DSN's.
;  It is important to be aware of an issue called "backscatter".
;  See the Wikipedia article here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28e-mail%29

;  The ToDsn method will be called to create a new
;  DSN email based upon the email object calling ToDsn.
;  The email object instance used to call ToDsn would
;  typically be an email received from a POP3 or IMAP server.
;  In this case, to simplify the example, we'll load the email
;  from a .eml file.

;  This example will be creating a DSN for "someEmail.eml"
$bSuccess = $oEmail.LoadEml("someEmail.eml")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oEmail.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  The DSN created by ToDsn will contain a 
;  "message/delivery-status" MIME sub-part that will
;  be composed of a number of name-value pairs.
;  See RFC 3464 ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3464 )
;  The name-value content for this part is passed
;  as XML to ToDsn. This part of the example
;  prepares the XML:
$oXml = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Xml")

;  For this example, we're just adding a few name-value pairs.
;  These should not be considered to be correct, required or
;  even sensible -- it's simply for the example.  
$oXml.Tag = "DeliveryStatusFields"
$oXml.NewChild2 "Status","5.1.2 (bad destination system: no such domain)"
$oXml.NewChild2 "Diagnostic-Code","smtp; Permanent failure: no such domain"
$oXml.NewChild2 "X-BounceCategory","bad-domain"

Local $sXmlStr = $oXml.GetXml()

;  The last argument to be passed to ToDsn will be a boolean
;  indicating whether to include the entire MIME of the calling
;  email object in the DSN, or only the header.
;  It may make sense to include the entire email for small emails,
;  but for large emails (with large attachments) it's probably
;  best to make the DSN header-only.
Local $bHeaderOnly = True

;  The first argument to be passed to ToDsn will
;  be a human-readable explanation that will be placed
;  into the 1st MIME part of the DSN (see RFC 3464).
Local $sHumanReadableExplanation = "Blah blah blah. The delivery of this email failed. Blah blah blah"

;  OK, we're ready to create DSN....
$oDsnEmail = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Email")

$bSuccess = $oEmail.ToDsn($sHumanReadableExplanation,$sXmlStr,$bHeaderOnly,$oDsnEmail)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oEmail.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  Show the MIME of the source (original) email:
ConsoleWrite($oEmail.GetMime() & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite("**************************************" & @CRLF)

;  Show the MIME of the DSN email:
ConsoleWrite($oDsnEmail.GetMime() & @CRLF)

;  Sample output showing the MIME of the original email,
;  and the DSN email created based upon it:
