Nested multipart messages
' Example: CSMail VBScript Example 9
' Summary: Nested multipart messages
' Usage: cscript exvbs09.vbs
' or
' wscript exvbs09.vbs
' Notes:
' In this example we will create a nested multipart messages and show one
' technique you may use for accessing such a message
'
' A common real-life example of a nested multipatr message involves a message which has a text section
' represented in two alternative formats and a single attached file ie:
'
' Message multipart/mixed
' Section1 multipart/alternative
' Section11 [Normal Text]
' Section12 [HTML]
' Section2 [Attached File]
'
set MyMsg=CreateObject("CSMail.Message") ' Create the message object
' Sections(1) has two sub-sections and the default Content-Type for Section(1) would be
' multipart/mixed but we need it to be mulipart/alternative so we set the Mime Header Field
' appropriately - in this case we MUST use the Header collection rather than the Type/
' SubType properties - try doing it the otherway and you'll see why!
'
' Note that the control will handle the boundary parameter for us which saves some hassle!
MyMsg.Sections(1).Header("Content-Type")="multipart/alternative"
' Sections(1).Sections(1) - Content type will default to text/plain
MyMsg.Sections(1).Sections(1).Body="This is the plain text message."
' Sections(1).Sections(2) - Need to set Content-Type to text/html
' - this time we can use the properties.
MyMsg.Sections(1).Sections(2).Body="This is the <B>html</B> version."
MyMsg.Sections(1).Sections(2).Type="text"
MyMsg.Sections(1).Sections(2).SubType="html"
MyMsg.Sections(2).AttachBodyFromFile("V:\test\tribbles.giff")
' ... Could send this with the SMTPClient now...
' ... but we'll pretend we've just received the message with the POP3Client object and we need to
' process _all_ the sections
' This is how NOT to do it - we miss the sub-sections of Section(1)
wscript.echo "The wrong way!"
for each section in MyMsg.Sections
wscript.echo "Processing section Content-Type is "§ion.Header("Content-Type")
next
' The easiest way is probably to use recursion - the ProcessSections subroutine declared
' at the bottom of the file does this
wscript.echo "One right way!"
ProcessSections(MyMsg.Sections)
sub ProcessSections(Sections)
for each section in Sections
if (section.type<>"multipart") then
wscript.echo "Recursively Processing section Content-Type is "§ion.Header("Content-Type")
end if
ProcessSections(section.Sections) ' Process sub-sections
next
end sub
