import chilkat2

success = False

# First, for the purpose of understanding the structure of the MIME,
# let's load the MIME into a Chilkat MIME object and examine the MIME structure.
mime = chilkat2.Mime()

success = mime.LoadMimeFile("qa_data/eml/TMobileTextMsg.eml")
# Show the MIME structure in text format (as opposed to XML format).
print(mime.GetStructure("text"))

# The MIME structure for our test email looks like this:
# multipart/related
#     text/html
#     text/plain
#     image/gif
#     image/gif
#     image/gif

# The HTML part is not considered a "related item" because the related items
# are defined as being related to the HTML part.  Therefore, we should always
# expect to find a text/html part under a multipart/related.  The HTML parts
# is simply the HTML body, and the other parts are the related items.
# If the text/plain part was to be considered as an alternative body,
# then a properly structured email would include a multipart/alternative structure.

email = chilkat2.Email()

success = email.LoadEml("qa_data/eml/TMobileTextMsg.eml")

# We should see 4 related items.
print("Num Related Items = " + str(email.NumRelatedItems))
# There should be 0 attachments.  
print("Num Attachments = " + str(email.NumAttachments))

# Find the indices of the text/plain related part, and the text/html related part
i = 0
numRelatedItems = email.NumRelatedItems
sbContentType = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
while i < numRelatedItems :
    sbContentType.Append(email.GetRelatedContentType(i))
    print(str(i) + ": " + sbContentType.GetAsString())
    if (sbContentType.ContentsEqual("text/plain",False)):
        print("---- text/plain part:")
        print(email.GetRelatedString(i,"utf-8"))

    sbContentType.Clear()
    i = i + 1
