Create a new message part in a multipart message.
Syntax
object.CreatePart( [MessageText],
[CharacterSet], [EncodingType] )
Parameters
- MessageText
- An optional string argument which specifies the body of the new
message part. Each line of text contained in the string should be
terminated with a carriage-return/linefeed (CRLF) pair, which is
recognized as the end-of-line. If the argument is not specified,
then the message part will have an empty body.
- CharacterSet
- An optional integer value which specifies the
character set for
the message part. If this parameter is omitted, the default is for the message to be composed
using the standard UTF-8 character set.
- EncodingType
-
An optional integer value which specifies the content encoding to
use for the message part. The default is for the control to use
7-bit encoding. If an 8-bit character set is specified for the
CharacterSet argument, the default encoding type will be
set to quoted-printable. One of the following values may be used:
| Value |
Description |
| mimeEncoding7Bit |
Each character is encoded in one or more bytes, with
each byte being 8 bits long, with the first bit cleared.
This encoding is most commonly used with plain text using
the US-ASCII character set, where each character is
represented by a single byte in the range of 20h to 7Eh. |
| mimeEncoding8Bit |
Each character is encoded in one or more bytes, with
each byte being 8 bits long and all bits are used. 8-bit
encoding may be used with UTF-8 and other multi-byte
character sets. |
| mimeEncodingQuoted |
Quoted-printable encoding is designed for textual
messages where most of the characters are represented by
the ASCII character set and is generally human-readable.
Non-printable characters or 8-bit characters with the high
bit set are encoded as hexadecimal values and represented
as 7-bit text. Quoted-printable encoding is typically used
for messages which use character sets such as ISO-8859-1,
as well as those which use HTML. |
| mimeEncodingBase64 |
Base64 encoding converts binary or text data to ASCII by
translating it so each base64 digit represents 6 bits of
data. This encoding method is commonly used with messages
that contain binary data (such as binary file attachments),
or when text uses extended characters that cannot be
represented by 7-bit ASCII. It is recommended that you use
base64 encoding with Unicode text. |
Return Value
A value of zero is returned if the method succeeds.
Otherwise, a non-zero error code is returned which indicates the
cause of the failure.
Remarks
The CreatePart method creates a new message part. If the
current message is a simple RFC822 formatted message, then this
method converts it to a MIME multipart message. The current message
part will be set to the new part that was just created.
