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

Dim mime As New Chilkat.Mime

' Initialize a multipart-mixed MIME message:
Dim success As Boolean = mime.NewMultipartMixed()

' Each sub-part will be prepared, then added to the 
' top-level multipart/mixed MIME object, and then written
' to a file.

' First the plain-text sub-part
' Add a few header fields:
Dim textPart As New Chilkat.Mime
success = textPart.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test")
success = textPart.AddHeaderField("MyId","123")
success = textPart.SetBodyFromPlainText("This is the plain-text body")

' Now for a GIF image:
Dim imagePart As New Chilkat.Mime
success = imagePart.SetBodyFromFile("starfish.gif")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imagePart.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Append each sub-part to the top-level MIME object:
success = mime.AppendPart(textPart)
success = mime.AppendPart(imagePart)

' Write the full multipart-mixed MIME to a file.
success = mime.SaveMime("out.mim")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime())

' The MIME should look something like this:
' (See more comments following this sample output...)
