Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

See more MIME Examples

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. Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

set success 0

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

set mime [new_CkMime]

# Add a few header fields:
set success [CkMime_AddHeaderField $mime "Description" "this is a test"]
set success [CkMime_AddHeaderField $mime "MyId" "123"]

set textBody "This is the plain-text body"

set success [CkMime_SetBodyFromPlainText $mime $textBody]

puts [CkMime_getMime $mime]

# 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:
CkMime_put_Encoding $mime "base64"

# Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
# transfer encoding:
puts [CkMime_getMime $mime]

# It should look like this:

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