Subject: [Tmail-talk] How to handle rfc822-parts?
Message-ID: <4B1BAF8A.1060908@banza.net>

Hello list

I could not find anything about this question in the archive. I am 
wondering why TMail parses multipart mails recursively, but does not 
provide a TMail::Mail-object for message/rfc822 parts. As far as I see I 
have to do something like:

   if part.content_type == 'message/rfc822'
     mo = TMail::Mail.parse part.body
     ...
   end

to access possibly present sub-parts.

Am I missing something?

Ano

Regards, T.

Hello again

I accidentally touched my track-pad and my last mail was sent before I 
finished it.

I have an email with a part that has no Content-Type-header (it 
obviously should be text/plain). Is this legal? And should I can rely on 
that such parts are 'text/plain'? Or should I better ignore these parts?

There seems to be an hardly overviewable diversity of species in the 
email-world (excuse my English).

I have found some email examples from 1993 from Mark Crispin et al who 
invented the IMAP-protocol. Are there some more up-to-date samples 
somewhere?

Regards, T.
