Check if a MIME Part is an Attachment

Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.IsAttachment method, which returns whether the current part's Content-Disposition is attachment (matched case-insensitively). It takes no arguments.

Note: The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the path to your own file.

Background: Whether a part is an attachment is about disposition, not content type — an image can be inline (Content-Disposition: inline) or an attachment. This predicate keys off that header, which is the right basis for deciding what to list as a downloadable attachment versus what to render within the message body.

// Demonstrates the Mime.IsAttachment method, which returns whether the part's Content-Disposition is attachment.  It takes no arguments and applies to the current
// part.  This example iterates the parts of a multipart message and reports which ones match.

let mime = chilkat::Mime::new();
if mime.load_mime_file("qa_data/multipart_message.eml").is_err() {
    println!("{}", mime.last_error_text());
    return;
}

let n = mime.num_parts();
let part = chilkat::Mime::new();
for i in 0..n {
    if mime.part_at(i, &part).is_err() {
        println!("{}", mime.last_error_text());
        return;
    }

    if part.is_attachment() {
        println!("Part {} ({}) is an attachment.", i, part.content_type());
    }
