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

# Start with an empty MIME object...
$mime = New-Object Chilkat.Mime

# Initialize it as multipart/alternative.
$mime.NewMultipartAlternative()

# Create a text/plain part.
$ptMime = New-Object Chilkat.Mime
$ptMime.SetBodyFromPlainText("This is the plain text body.")
$($ptMime.GetMime())
$("****")

# 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.
$htmlMime = New-Object Chilkat.Mime
$htmlMime.SetBodyFromHtml("<html><body><p>This is the <b>HTML body</b></p></body></html>")
$($htmlMime.GetMime())
$("****")

# 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)
$($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.
