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

Dim email As Chilkat.Email
Set email = Chilkat.NewEmail

' Tell Chilkat you want the email to be utf-8.
email.Charset = "utf-8"

email.From = "somebody@gmail.com"
Dim success As Boolean
success = email.AddTo("Joe","joe_somebody@gmail.com")
email.Subject = "This is a test"

' Load a utf-8 HTML file that will be the body of this email.
' The HTML contains this line to specify the charset:
' 
'     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
' 
' The sample HTML is available here:  https://chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/sample_utf8.html
' 
Dim sbHtml As Chilkat.StringBuilder
Set sbHtml = Chilkat.NewStringBuilder
success = sbHtml.LoadFile("qa_data/html/sample_utf8.html","utf-8")

email.SetHtmlBody sbHtml.GetAsString()

' If this email was sent as-is, it would look like this:
Dim mailman As Chilkat.MailMan
Set mailman = Chilkat.NewMailMan
Debug.Print mailman.RenderToMime(email)

' The MIME that would be sent is this:

' Let's say we want to send iso-8859-1 instead...
