PowerTCP Mail for ActiveX Features

Message Object (Encode and Decode MIME messages)

The Message simple COM object represents a MIME email message, decoding MIME email into an object representation you can easily manipulate. Every attachment, part, and label element is presented as an object, giving you unsurpassed processing control. Performs encoding too, so you can pass messages between the Pop, Imap, and Smtp controls. Can also be used independently as a general purpose MIME encoder and decoder. Features include:

  • Detailed knowledge of MIME is not required to use the Message object.
  • The Message object provides an object representation of any email message. This formatting object supports easy manipulation of simple and complex (even nested) MIME messages.
  • Additional features of the MIME object include persistence to disk in two formats: transport ready (encoded) message format and a quick loading (decoded) object format.
  • Encoded/decoded data need not be spooled to disk, making this product a real performer for messages buffered in memory.
  • One method call builds a message.
  • Create a ready-to-send HTML message with a single line of code.

Public Properties
AttachmentDefaults When an attachment is added to a message, header fields are included that describe the attachment. This property provides default header fields for common attachment file types. These strings may be modified or more added so subsequent calls to the AddAttachment method use the header fields you provide.
AttachmentDirectory
Decoded message attachments are created in this directory.
AttachmentOverwrite Specifies whether decoded message attachments are overwritten if the filename is the same.
Attribute Server-related attributes of the message.
Bcc Collection of recipient address strings that are not disclosed to other recipients (Blind Carbon Copy).
Charset Gets and sets the character set used for string/byte array conversions.
Cc Collection of address strings for the secondary recipients (Carbon Copy).
Content Read from this property to encode the message or write to this property to initialize the object.
From Specifies the author of the message.
Header Collection of header fields contained in a Message Object or a Part Object.
PartList Collection of all Part Objects in a multipart message.
Parts Collection of "sibling" Part Objects existing at a single level in the message.
QuotedPrintable When set to True, Quoted-Printable encoding is applied to textual parts of the message when it is encoded. When set to False, textual parts of the message are sent "as-is".
Size Returns the size of the encoded message.
Subject Subject of the message.
Text Text contained in a non-multipart message.
To Collection of recipient address strings.
Public Methods
AddAttachment Attach a file to the message.
AddDigest Create a digest message such as that used to archive newsgroup or mailing list correspondence.
AddHtml Create a ready-to-send HTML email message.

DecodeBuf Decode a single buffer.
Encode Generate consecutive segments of the encoded message stream.
EncodeBuf Encode a buffer.
d>Forward Create a "forwarded" message to the specified recipient.
Load Load a message file.

Code Example

How easy is the Message object to use? Check out the VB example below which demonstrates creating a message with an attachment using the Message object.

 

' Smtp1.Message is a Message object
Smtp1.Message.To.Add "you@test.com" ' Specify the recipient
Smtp1.Message.From = "me@test.com" ' Specify the sender
Smtp1.Message.Subject = "Test Message" ' Specify the subject
Smtp1.Message.Text = "This is a test." ' Add message body
Smtp1.Message.AddAttachment "C:\company.gif" ' Add attachment
Smtp1.Login "mail.dart.com" ' Start the mail session
Smtp1.Send ' Send message
Smtp1.Logout ' End session
