mime: Formats data with MIME

The mime tag allows you to create MIME encoded data. It is chiefly used to format email inside the sendmail tag.

Syntax

mime tag syntax:

      <dtml-mime>
      [<dtml-boundry>]
      ...
      </dtml-mime>

The mime tag is a block tag. The block is can be divided by one or more boundry tags to create a multi-part MIME message. mime tags may be nested. The mime tag is most often used inside the sendmail tag.

Attributes

Both the mime and boundry tags have the same attributes.

encode=string

MIME Content-Transfer-Encoding header, defaults to base64. Valid encoding options include base64, quoted-printable, uuencode, x-uuencode, uue, x-uue, and 7bit. If the encode attribute is set to 7bit no encoding is done on the block and the data is assumed to be in a valid MIME format.

type=string

MIME Content-Type header.

type_expr=string

MIME Content-Type header as a variable expression. You cannot use both type and type_expr.

name=string

MIME Content-Type header name.

name_expr=string

MIME Content-Type header name as a variable expression. You cannot use both name and name_expr.

disposition=string

MIME Content-Disposition header.

disposition_expr=string

MIME Content-Disposition header as a variable expression. You cannot use both disposition and disposition_expr.

filename=string

MIME Content-Disposition header filename.

filename_expr=string

MIME Content-Disposition header filename as a variable expression. You cannot use both filename and filename_expr.

skip_expr=string

A variable expression that if true, skips the block. You can use this attribute to selectively include MIME blocks.

Examples

Sending a file attachment:

      <dtml-sendmail>
      To: <dtml-recipient>
      Subject: Resume
      <dtml-mime type="text/plain" encode="7bit">

      Hi, please take a look at my resume.

      <dtml-boundary type="application/octet-stream" disposition="attachment" 
      encode="base64" filename_expr="resume_file.getId()"><dtml-var expr="resume_file.read()"></dtml-mime>
      </dtml-sendmail>
