Create MDN (Message Disposition Notification) Email

Demonstrates how to create a MDN (Message Disposition Notification) Email having the format as defined in RFC 3798. AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

$oEmail = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Email")

;  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:
