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

* Start with an empty MIME object...
loMime = CreateObject('Chilkat.Mime')

* Initialize it as multipart/alternative.
loMime.NewMultipartAlternative()

* Create a text/plain part.
loPtMime = CreateObject('Chilkat.Mime')
loPtMime.SetBodyFromPlainText("This is the plain text body.")
? loPtMime.GetMime()
? "****"

* The text/plain part looks like this:

* 	Content-Type: text/plain
* 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
* 
* 	This is the plain text body.

* Create a text/HTML part.
loHtmlMime = CreateObject('Chilkat.Mime')
loHtmlMime.SetBodyFromHtml("<html><body><p>This is the <b>HTML body</b></p></body></html>")
? loHtmlMime.GetMime()
? "****"

* The text/html part looks like this:

* 	Content-Type: text/html
* 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
* 
* 	<html><body><p>This is the <b>HTML body</b></p></body></html>

* Add both parts as children of the multipart/alternative
loMime.AppendPart(loPtMime)
loMime.AppendPart(loHtmlMime)
? loMime.GetMime()

* This the result.  The boundary string was automatically generaetd.

* 	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------080803090906030708030908"
* 
* 	--------------080803090906030708030908
* 	Content-Type: text/plain
* 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
* 
* 	This is the plain text body.
* 	--------------080803090906030708030908
* 	Content-Type: text/html
* 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
* 
* 	<html><body><p>This is the <b>HTML body</b></p></body></html>
* 	--------------080803090906030708030908--
