The format of email is MIME. A simple MIME message consists of headers followed by a body. For example, here’s a simple text/plain email: From: sender@example.com To: recipient@example.com Subject: Example Email Content-Type: text/plain; charset=”UTF-8″ Hello, This is a simple plain text email. Regards, Sender MIME can be multipart. Here’s a text/plain email with a PDF attachment: From: sender@example.com To: recipient@example.com […]
In rare cases, an email’s MIME might be structured in a way that is highly unusual and doesn’t follow conventions. In other words, the nested MIME structure of an email should follow conventions that make it possible to semantically understand the purpose of each MIME part — such as an attachment, or an image to be included in the HTML […]
It was found that in some cases, OpenSSL may produce MIME with a mixture of both bare-LF line-endings and CRLF line-endings. MIME documents *should* always use CRLF line endings. The mixing of both line-ending types in a single MIME document caused the LoadMimeBytes method to skip past the end of the top-level header (terminated by a double bare-LF) and instead […]
Chilkat v9.3.0, being released this week, now supports the ability to create CAdES-BES and CAdES-EPES digital signatures via the MailMan, Mime, and Crypt2 objects. All three objects/classes now include the following new properties: bool CadesEnabled; string CadesSigPolicyId; string CadesSigPolicyUri; string CadesSigPolicyHash; (base64 encoded representation of hash) To create a CAdES-BES signature, simply set the CadesEnabled property = true. For CAdES-EPES, […]

Question: Is it possible to convert MIME to plain-text? Answer: The Chilkat MIME and/or Email API’s may be used to extract the plain-text body (or bodies) and/or HTML bodies from a MIME message. If a MIME-part is already plain-text, no conversion is necessary. It’s simply a matter of using the Chilkat MIME or Email API to extract the part’s contents. […]
