# Create the following AMP for Email HTML

# <html amp4email>
# <head>
#   <meta charset="utf-8">
#   <style amp4email-boilerplate>body{visibility:hidden}</style>
#   <script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script>
# </head>
# <body>
# Hello, world.
# </body>
# </html>

$sbAmp4Html = New-Object Chilkat.StringBuilder
$sbAmp4Html.Append("<!doctype html>")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("<html amp4email>")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("<head>")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("<meta charset=`"utf-8`">")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("<style amp4email-boilerplate>body{visibility:hidden}</style>")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("<script async src=`"https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js`"></script>")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("</head>")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("<body>")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("Hello, world.")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("</body>")
$sbAmp4Html.Append("</html>")

# We want to build a multipart/alternative email, where the 1st alternative body
# is text/plain, the 2nd is text/x-amp-html, and the last is text/html.
# (Some email clients will only render the last MIME part, so we recommend placing the text/x-amp-html MIME part before the text/html MIME part.)

# First create a plain-text email body:
$email.AddPlainTextAlternativeBody("Hello World in plain text!")

# Now add the text/x-amp-html.
$email.SetTextBody($sbAmp4Html.GetAsString(),"text/x-amp-html")

# Now add an HTML body..
$email.AddHtmlAlternativeBody("<span>Hello World in HTML!</span>")

# See what we have:
$($email.GetMime())

# This is the result:
