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
