MIME Content Part Descriptor Properties

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates the properties that describe an individual MIME content part: Charset (the charset parameter of Content-Type), Encoding (the Content-Transfer-Encoding), Disposition (the Content-Disposition value), Filename (the filename parameter of Content-Disposition), and Name (the name parameter of Content-Type). Each is set and then read back, and the effect is visible in the serialized MIME header.

*  Charset is the charset parameter of the Content-Type header field (meaningful for text parts).
loMime.Charset = "utf-8"

*  Encoding is the Content-Transfer-Encoding for this part.
loMime.Encoding = "quoted-printable"

*  Disposition, Filename, and Name describe how a receiver should present the part.
*  Filename is the filename parameter of Content-Disposition; Name is the name parameter of
*  Content-Type.  Both are receiver-facing names, not local filesystem paths.
loMime.Disposition = "attachment"
loMime.Filename = "note.txt"
loMime.Name = "note.txt"

*  Read the descriptors back.

*  The descriptors appear in the serialized MIME header.
