hello friends..
I want to know that how many basic formats/types exist for
compsing mails.
Means if i say that i had composed a mail using say outlook-
express (.eml file)which may have header say content-type:
text/alternative or say content-type: multipart/mixed.So that it will
have other content-type headers accordingly.
I had studied rfc-1521(MIME) and know the 7 basic types and their
sub-types.But can you please help me to know that using this types
how many maximum possible types of emails we can compose.
for example ,
From:
To:
Subject: sample attachment
Date:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0009_01C30821.1B19BB40"
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Unsent: 1
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
------=_NextPart_000_0009_01C30821.1B19BB40
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_NextPart_001_000A_01C30821.1B19BB40"
