Class: Mail_mimePart  - X-Ref

Raw mime encoding class

What is it?
This class enables you to manipulate and build
a mime email from the ground up.

Why use this instead of mime.php?
mime.php is a userfriendly api to this class for
people who aren't interested in the internals of
mime mail. This class however allows full control
over the email.

Eg.

// Since multipart/mixed has no real body, (the body is
// the subpart), we set the body argument to blank.

$params['content_type'] = 'multipart/mixed';
$email = new Mail_mimePart('', $params);

// Here we add a text part to the multipart we have
// already. Assume $body contains plain text.

$params['content_type'] = 'text/plain';
$params['encoding']     = '7bit';
$text = $email->addSubPart($body, $params);

// Now add an attachment. Assume $attach is
the contents of the attachment

$params['content_type'] = 'application/zip';
$params['encoding']     = 'base64';
$params['disposition']  = 'attachment';
$params['dfilename']    = 'example.zip';
$attach =& $email->addSubPart($body, $params);

// Now build the email. Note that the encode
// function returns an associative array containing two
// elements, body and headers. You will need to add extra
// headers, (eg. Mime-Version) before sending.

$email = $message->encode();
$email['headers'][] = 'Mime-Version: 1.0';

TODO:
- Set encode() to return the $obj->encoded if encode()
has already been run. Unless a flag is passed to specifically
re-build the message.
