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. Node.js

NODEJS_PRELUDE

function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

    var email = new chilkat.Email();

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

    // We can also get the Date header like this:
    console.log("Date: " + email.GetHeaderField("Date"));

    // Load a .eml into the email object:
    success = email.LoadEml("myEmlFiles/someEmail.eml");
    if (success !== true) {
        console.log(email.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Show the Date that was in the .eml
    console.log("Date: " + email.EmailDateStr);

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

    var dateTime = new chilkat.CkDateTime();

    dateTime.SetFromCurrentSystemTime();

    success = email.SetDt(dateTime);
    if (success !== true) {
        console.log(email.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Now show that the Date is the current system time:
    console.log("Date: " + email.EmailDateStr);
    console.log("Date: " + email.GetHeaderField("Date"));
