(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Create MIME Containing HTML

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

Dim mime As New Chilkat.Mime

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

Dim htmlDoc As String = "<html><body>Test</body></html>"

' Set the MIME body via SetBodyFromHtml.  This also
' has the intended side-effect of adding the Content-Type
' and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers.
success = mime.SetBodyFromHtml(htmlDoc)

Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime())


' The MIME should look like this:

' Description: this is a test
' MyId: 123
' Content-Type: text/html; 
' Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
' 
' <html><body>Test</body></html>


' Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
' For example, to use "base64", do this:
mime.Encoding = "base64"

' Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
' transfer encoding:
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime())

' It should look like this:

' Description: this is a test
' MyId: 123
' Content-Type: text/html; 
' Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
