<p>This module is part of the legacy (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Compat32</span></code>) email API. Its functionality
|
|
|
|
|
|
is partially replaced by the <a class="reference internal" href="email.contentmanager.html#module-email.contentmanager" title="email.contentmanager: Storing and Retrieving Content from MIME Parts"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">contentmanager</span></code></a> in the new API, but
|
|
|
|
|
|
in certain applications these classes may still be useful, even in non-legacy
|
|
|
|
|
|
code.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Ordinarily, you get a message object structure by passing a file or some text to
|
|
|
|
|
|
a parser, which parses the text and returns the root message object. However
|
|
|
|
|
|
you can also build a complete message structure from scratch, or even individual
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="email.compat32-message.html#email.message.Message" title="email.message.Message"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Message</span></code></a> objects by hand. In fact, you can also take an
|
|
|
|
|
|
existing structure and add new <a class="reference internal" href="email.compat32-message.html#email.message.Message" title="email.message.Message"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Message</span></code></a> objects, move them
|
|
|
|
|
|
around, etc. This makes a very convenient interface for slicing-and-dicing MIME
|
|
|
|
|
|
messages.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You can create a new object structure by creating <a class="reference internal" href="email.compat32-message.html#email.message.Message" title="email.message.Message"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Message</span></code></a>
|
|
|
|
|
|
instances, adding attachments and all the appropriate headers manually. For MIME
|
|
|
|
|
|
messages though, the <a class="reference internal" href="email.html#module-email" title="email: Package supporting the parsing, manipulating, and generating email messages."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">email</span></code></a> package provides some convenient subclasses to
|
|
|
|
|
|
make things easier.</p>

MIME-aware subclasses.</p>

<p><em>_maintype</em> is the <em class="mailheader">Content-Type</em> major type (e.g. <em class="mimetype">text</em>

|

type (e.g. <em class="mimetype">plain</em> or <em class="mimetype">gif</em>). <em>_params</em> is a parameter
