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. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

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

set mime = CreateObject("Chilkat.Mime")

' 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)

outFile.WriteLine(mime.GetMime())

' 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.Encoding = "base64"

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

' It should look like this:

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