Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

See more MIME Examples

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

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loMime
LOCAL lcTextBody

lnSuccess = 0

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

loMime = CreateObject('Chilkat.Mime')

* Add a few header fields:
lnSuccess = loMime.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test")
lnSuccess = loMime.AddHeaderField("MyId","123")

lcTextBody = "This is the plain-text body"

lnSuccess = loMime.SetBodyFromPlainText(lcTextBody)

? loMime.GetMime()

* The MIME should look like this:

* Description: this is a test
* MyId: 123
* Content-Type: text/plain; 
* Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
* 
* This is the plain-text body

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

* Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
* transfer encoding:
? loMime.GetMime()

* It should look like this:

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