(Ruby) Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

Calls SetBodyFromPlainText to load plain-text into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/plain", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the text.

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

mime = Chilkat::CkMime.new()

# Add a few header fields:
success = mime.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test")
success = mime.AddHeaderField("MyId","123")

textBody = "This is the plain-text body"

success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText(textBody)

print mime.getMime() + "\n";

# The MIME should look like this:

# Description: this is a test
# MyId: 123
# Content-Type: text/plain; 
# Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
# 
# This is the plain-text body

# Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
# For example, to use "base64", do this:
mime.put_Encoding("base64")

# Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
# transfer encoding:
print mime.getMime() + "\n";

# It should look like this:

# Description: this is a test
# MyId: 123
# Content-Type: text/plain
# Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
