//  This example assumes Chilkat Mime to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Unlock Mime for sample code.

mime := CkMime_Create();

//  The contents of this MIME file are shown below,
//  and is also available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/sampleMime.txt
success := CkMime_LoadMimeFile(mime,'qa_data/mime/sampleMime.txt');
if (success <> True) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(CkMime__lastErrorText(mime));
    Exit;
  end;

//  The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
// 
//  multipart/alternative
//      text/plain
//      multipart/related
//          text/html
//          image/jpeg
// 

//  Adding a top-level MIME header is easy.
CkMime_AddHeaderField(mime,'hello-world','Hello World!');
//  If a header field of the same name already exists, the AddHeaderField
//  method adds a duplicate.
CkMime_AddHeaderField(mime,'Subject','This is the 2nd Subject header.');
Memo1.Lines.Add(CkMime__getEntireHead(mime));
Memo1.Lines.Add('-');

//  The top-level header now looks like this:
// 
//  	Subject: Test email.
//  	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
//  	MIME-Version: 1.0
//  	hello-world: Hello World!
//  	Subject: This is the 2nd Subject header.
// 

//  The RemoveHeaderField method can remove the 1st occurrance, or all occurrences.
bAllOccurrences := True;
//  Remove all occurrences of the Subject header;
CkMime_RemoveHeaderField(mime,'Subject',bAllOccurrences);
Memo1.Lines.Add(CkMime__getEntireHead(mime));
Memo1.Lines.Add('-');

//  After removing all Subject header fields, the top-level header now looks like this:
// 
//  Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
//  MIME-Version: 1.0
//  hello-world: Hello World!
// 

//  The content of a header field can be updated by calling SetHeaderField.
//  If the header field does not already exist, it is added.  Otherwise it is updated.
//  Note: The order of header fields SHOULD never matter.
CkMime_SetHeaderField(mime,'hello-world','Goodbye World.');
Memo1.Lines.Add(CkMime__getEntireHead(mime));
Memo1.Lines.Add('-');

//  Now we have:
// 
//  	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
//  	MIME-Version: 1.0
//  	hello-world: Goodbye World.
// 

//  To add/update/delete header fields in sub-parts, navigate to
//  the sub-part and do the same..

mpRelated := CkMime_GetPart(mime,1);
pJpg := CkMime_GetPart(mpRelated,1);

//  Add a header to the image/jpeg sub-header.
CkMime_SetHeaderField(pJpg,'CustomHeader','This is the custom header value.');

CkMime_Dispose(pJpg);
CkMime_Dispose(mpRelated);

//  View the entire MIME..
Memo1.Lines.Add(CkMime__getMime(mime));
