BodyEncoding Property

Specifies method to be used to encode main body of the message.

You need to set value of this property only during message composing (i.e. for using with MailBee.SMTP object). If the message is created by MailBee.POP3 object, its main body will be automatically decoded, so you do not need to care about BodyEncoding.

The following encoding settings are allowed:

0 - No encoding. No encoding is performed, Content-Transfer-Encoding header is not set at all
1 - 7bit or 8bit encoding. Nearly equivalent of "No encoding", but Content-Transfer-Encoding header is explicitly set to "7 bit" or "8 bit" depending on value of Enable8bitEncoding property
2 - (default) Quoted-printable encoding. Efficient if the body contains mostly 7bit characters (ASCII symbols with codes 0 - 127)
3 - Base64. Efficient if the body contains many 8bit characters (ASCII symbols with codes 128 - 255)

Note: Besides handling high ASCII characters, quoted-printable and base64 encoding also preserve original text formatting. This might be important for plain-text (not HTML) bodies with lines more than 76 symbols length. If you want to disable line-wrapping for these lines, use quoted-printable or base64 encoding.

Value Type:	Long

Parameters:	None

Usage example:

Dim Mailer
'Using visual basic to create object
Set Mailer = CreateObject("MailBee.SMTP")
'Using ASP to create object
'Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.SMTP")
'In ASP use Response.Write instead of MsgBox
Mailer.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"
Mailer.ServerName = "mail.server.com"
If Mailer.Connect Then
  Mailer.Message.ToAddr = "bill@yoursite.com"
  Mailer.Message.FromAddr = "joe@mysite.com"
  Mailer.Message.Subject = "Hello"
  Mailer.Message.ImportBodyText "C:\docs\letter.htm", True
  Mailer.Message.BodyEncoding = 3 ' Base64 encoding
  Mailer.Send
  Mailer.Disconnect
End If
