Description
To create a message, call the Create method with the parameters set as described below.
The To parameter must be set to the mailing address (mail message) or the news
group names (news article) of the recipients. The From parameter must be set to the
mailing address of the sender. The Subject, Cc and Bcc parameters are
optional and can be left as empty strings. The IsMime parameter specifies whether
the message to be created is a MIME message (True or 1) or a non-MIME message (False or
0). The IsNews parameter specifies whether the message to be created is a mail
message (False or 0) or a news article (True or 1). The Dest parameter must be set
to the destination file name.
Please check the reference page of the individual properties for more information.
Plain messages can be plain text or uuencoded. MIME messages can be base64 encoded,
quoted-printable encoded or plain text. The encoding is done by the MIME ActiveX control.
For MIME messages, apart from the above the ContentId, ContentType, Subtype and Charset
(optional) properties have to be set before creating the message. The MessageType property
must be set for partial or external MIME messages.
The OnInformation, OnHeader and OnBody events will be fired to obtain the message
header and body as well as any attachments. Once the header and body of the message is
composed, the OnStatistics event is fired with the number of lines and number of bytes in
the header and body of the message. For partial messages, the OnPartial event will be
fired to obtain the part number and id and for external messages, the OnExternal event
will be fired to obtain the access type and other pertaining information.
If an error occurs, then the OnError event will be fired. The application should set a
flag in the OnError event, so that it can determine if the action was successful. In
addition, the application may want to display an error message in the OnError event to
inform the user of the error. Please check the reference page of the OnError event for a
complete listing of error codes.
The Create method returns True if successful; otherwise, it returns False. Calling this
method is equivalent to setting the Action property to ACTION_CREATE.
Example
Result = Mime.Create ("c:\temp\test", "test",
"someone", "Testing", "", "", True, False)
If Result = True Then
MsgBox "Created message successfully", 64, "Sample Program"
End If
