Email Body - Plain Text and/or HTML

Any given email may have a plain-text body, an HTML body, or both. The Body property will return the HTML body by default (if it exists) otherwise it will return the plain-text body. There are methods for checking to see if an email has a particular body (HasPlainTextBody and HasHtmlBody) and there are methods for getting a specific body: GetHtmlBody, GetPlainTextBody.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

var email = new CkEmail();

// Load an email from a .eml

success = email.LoadEml("something.eml");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(email.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Display the default Body:
console.log(email.Body);

// If a plain-text body is present, display it:
var bText;
bText = email.HasPlainTextBody();
if (bText == true) {
    console.log(email.GetPlainTextBody());
}

// If an HTML body is present, display the HTML source:
var bHtml;
bHtml = email.HasHtmlBody();
if (bHtml == true) {
    console.log(email.GetHtmlBody());
}
