; An MDN can be used to notify the
; sender of a message of any of several conditions that may occur after
; successful delivery, such as display of the message contents,
; printing of the message, deletion (without display) of the message,
; or the recipient's refusal to provide MDNs.
; (for more information, see RFC 3798)

; IMPORTANT:
; Note: Please be careful in sending automated MDN'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 ToMdn method is called to create a new
; MDN email based upon the email object calling ToMdn.
; The email object instance used to call ToMdn 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 MDN for "someEmail.eml"
$bSuccess = $oEmail.LoadEml("someEmail.eml")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oEmail.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; The MDN created by ToMdn will contain a 
; "message/disposition-notification" MIME sub-part that will
; be composed of a number of name-value pairs.
; See RFC 3798  ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3798 )
; The name-value content for this part is passed
; as XML to ToMdn. 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 -- they are simply for the example.  
$oXml.Tag = "DispositionFields"
$oXml.NewChild2 "Disposition","manual-action/MDN-sent-manually; displayed"
$oXml.NewChild2 "Original-Message-ID",$oEmail.GetHeaderField("Message-ID")
$oXml.NewChild2 "Final-Recipient",$oEmail.GetToAddr(0)

Local $sXmlStr = $oXml.GetXml()

; The last argument to be passed to ToMdn will be a boolean
; indicating whether to include the entire MIME of the calling
; email object in the MDN, 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 MDN header-only.
Local $bHeaderOnly = True

; The first argument to be passed to ToMdn will
; be a human-readable explanation that will be placed
; into the 1st MIME part of the MDN (see RFC 3798).
Local $sHumanReadableExplanation = "Blah blah blah.  Your message has been received and displayed. Blah blah blah"

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

$bSuccess = $oEmail.ToMdn($sHumanReadableExplanation,$sXmlStr,$bHeaderOnly,$oMdnEmail)
If ($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 MDN email:
ConsoleWrite($oMdnEmail.GetMime() & @CRLF)

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