loEmail = createobject("CkEmail")

loEmail.Subject = "test"
loEmail.AddTo("Chilkat","support@chilkatsoft.com")
loEmail.From = "Matt <matt@example.com>"
loEmail.Body = "This is a simple plain-text body."

llSuccess = loEmail.AddFileAttachment2("qa_data/1.HPM","application/x-hprimnet")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loEmail.LastErrorText
    release loEmail
    return
endif

// Add a "ContentDescription: HPM/3.0" in the attachment's sub-header.
// The 1st attachment is at index 0.
loEmail.AddAttachmentHeader(0,"Content-Description","HPM/3.0")

// Show the email MIME:
? loEmail.GetMime()

// This is the output:
// (Note: When Chilkat sends email, all CKX-* headers are removed prior to sending.)
