(.NET Core C#) Create MIME Containing HTML

Calls SetBodyFromHtml to load HTML into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/html", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the HTML.

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();

// Add a few header fields:
bool success = mime.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test");
success = mime.AddHeaderField("MyId","123");

string htmlDoc = "<html><body>Test</body></html>";

// Set the MIME body via SetBodyFromHtml.  This also
// has the intended side-effect of adding the Content-Type
// and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers.
success = mime.SetBodyFromHtml(htmlDoc);

Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());

// The MIME should look like this:

// Description: this is a test
// MyId: 123
// Content-Type: text/html; 
// Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
// 
// <html><body>Test</body></html>

// Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
// For example, to use "base64", do this:
mime.Encoding = "base64";

// Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
// transfer encoding:
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());

// It should look like this:

// Description: this is a test
// MyId: 123
// Content-Type: text/html; 
// Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
