Set the Email Date Header to the Current System Date/Time

Demonstrates how to set the Date header field of an email to the computer's current date/time. Note: When an email object is instantiated, the Date header field is automatically added and initialized to the current system date/time. The need to explicitly set the Date header could arise when loading an email from a .eml. Lianja

llSuccess = .F.

loEmail = createobject("CkEmail")

//  At this point, a new email object has been instantiated, and it
//  already has a Date header field containing the current date/time.
? "Date: " + loEmail.EmailDateStr

//  We can also get the Date header like this:
? "Date: " + loEmail.GetHeaderField("Date")

//  Load a .eml into the email object:
llSuccess = loEmail.LoadEml("myEmlFiles/someEmail.eml")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loEmail.LastErrorText
    release loEmail
    return
endif

//  Show the Date that was in the .eml
? "Date: " + loEmail.EmailDateStr

//  Now the Date header contains whatever was in the .eml
//  Let's update it to the current system date/time..

loDateTime = createobject("CkDateTime")

loDateTime.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()

llSuccess = loEmail.SetDt(loDateTime)
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loEmail.LastErrorText
    release loEmail
    release loDateTime
    return
endif

//  Now show that the Date is the current system time:
? "Date: " + loEmail.EmailDateStr
? "Date: " + loEmail.GetHeaderField("Date")


release loEmail
release loDateTime
