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).
CkMime_put_Charset $mime "utf-8"

#  Encoding is the Content-Transfer-Encoding for this part.
CkMime_put_Encoding $mime "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.
CkMime_put_Disposition $mime "attachment"
CkMime_put_Filename $mime "note.txt"
CkMime_put_Name $mime "note.txt"

#  Read the descriptors back.

puts "Encoding = [CkMime_encoding $mime]"
puts "Disposition = [CkMime_disposition $mime]"
puts "Filename = [CkMime_filename $mime]"
puts "Name = [CkMime_name $mime]"

#  The descriptors appear in the serialized MIME header.
