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

// The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
loo_Mailman = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.MailMan" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Mailman.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.MailMan")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Mailman
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// Set the SMTP server.
loo_Mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com"

// Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
loo_Mailman.SmtpUsername = "myUsername"
loo_Mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword"

// Create a new email object
loo_Email = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Email" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Email.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Email")

loo_Email.Subject = "This is a vcard test"
loo_Email.Body = "This is a vcard test"
loo_Email.From = "Chilkat Admin <admin@chilkatsoft.com>"
li_Success = loo_Email.AddTo("Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com")
// To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

// A vCard is an email attachment having a Content-Type = "text/x-vcard".
// Call AddStringAttachment to add a vcard from an in-memory string.
// The filename should have a ".vcf" file extension.  Chilkat will automatically
// recognize it and set the content-type to "text/x-vcard";

// Your application is responsible for providing the vcard formatted string.  For example:
// See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard
// 
// begin:vcard
// fn:Matt Smith
// n:Smith;Matt
// org:Chilkat Software, Inc.
// tel;work:630-784-9670
// url:http://www.chilkatsoft.com
// version:2.1
// end:vcard

ls_Vcard = "begin:vcard ..."
li_Success = loo_Email.AddStringAttachment("admin.vcf",ls_Vcard)
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Email.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Mailman
    destroy loo_Email
    return
end if

// Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
// The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
// open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
// same connection.  
li_Success = loo_Mailman.SendEmail(loo_Email)
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Mailman.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Mailman
    destroy loo_Email
    return
end if

// Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
// the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
// call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
// Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
// not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
// for the example:
li_Success = loo_Mailman.CloseSmtpConnection()
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug "Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly."
end if
