// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Start with an empty MIME object...
CkoMime *mime = [[CkoMime alloc] init];

// Initialize it as multipart/alternative.
[mime NewMultipartAlternative];

// Create a text/plain part.
CkoMime *ptMime = [[CkoMime alloc] init];
[ptMime SetBodyFromPlainText: @"This is the plain text body."];
NSLog(@"%@",[ptMime GetMime]);
NSLog(@"%@",@"****");

// The text/plain part looks like this:

// 	Content-Type: text/plain
// 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
// 
// 	This is the plain text body.

// Create a text/HTML part.
CkoMime *htmlMime = [[CkoMime alloc] init];
[htmlMime SetBodyFromHtml: @"<html><body><p>This is the <b>HTML body</b></p></body></html>"];
NSLog(@"%@",[htmlMime GetMime]);
NSLog(@"%@",@"****");

// The text/html part looks like this:

// 	Content-Type: text/html
// 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
// 
// 	<html><body><p>This is the <b>HTML body</b></p></body></html>

// Add both parts as children of the multipart/alternative
[mime AppendPart: ptMime];
[mime AppendPart: htmlMime];
NSLog(@"%@",[mime GetMime]);

// This the result.  The boundary string was automatically generaetd.

// 	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------080803090906030708030908"
// 
// 	--------------080803090906030708030908
// 	Content-Type: text/plain
// 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
// 
// 	This is the plain text body.
