(Lianja) Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

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.

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loMime = createobject("CkMime")

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

lcTextBody = "This is the plain-text body"

llSuccess = 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
