AutoIt

Setting the MIME Text Charset (such as utf-8, iso-8859-1, etc.)

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates how setting the Charset property controls the character encoding used for the text body in a MIME message. AutoIt

;  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
;  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oMime = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Mime")

;  Set the MIME body using some 8bit non-us-ascii characters:
$oMime.SetBody "á, é, í, ó, ú"

;  Set the Content-Type
$oMime.ContentType = "text/plain"

;  Set the Content-Transfer-Encoding to "quoted-printable";
;  so it's easy to see the bytes used to encode each character
;  (i.e. it will be easy to see that utf-8 uses 2-bytes for 
;  non-us-ascii characters such as "á", whereas a character
;  encoding such as iso-8859-1 will use one byte per character.
$oMime.Encoding = "quoted-printable"

;  Set the Charset to utf-8
$oMime.Charset = "utf-8"

;  Examine the MIME:
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetMime() & @CRLF)

;  The MIME should look like this:

;  Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
;  Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8";
;  
;  =C3=A1, =C3=A9, =C3=AD, =C3=B3, =C3=BA

;  Now change the Charset to "iso-8859-1";
$oMime.Charset = "iso-8859-1"

;  Get the MIME again...
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetMime() & @CRLF)

;  Now the MIME should look like this:

;  Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
;  Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1";
;  
;  =E1, =E9, =ED, =F3, =FA
