EncodeToFile Method

Encodes to file.

Syntax

mime.encodeToFile([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method encodes the data given in Parts properties (either decoded file or decoded string) into a MIME message at Message and MessageHeaders using the values optionally given in Parts properties. To encode several objects into a MIME envelope, the user should first clear any old values left in the Parts properties.

The class will check for each item in Parts properties (first decoded file and then the decoded string) for the data to encode.

The encoded message will be saved in the file pointed to by Message; the message headers will be held by MessageHeaders.

Example (Encoding Data)

MIMEControl.ResetData()
MIMEControl.PartCount = 2
MIMEControl.PartDecodedString(0) = "This is plain text data"
MIMEControl.PartEncoding(0) = peQuotedPrintable
MIMEControl.PartContentType(0) = "text/plain"
MIMEControl.PartDecodedFile(1) = "C:\filename.txt"
MIMEControl.Message = "temp.tmp"
MIMEControl.EncodeToFile()
