What represents MessagePart::Multipart

[atezet]

I noticed that in your most recent release (0.3.1) you added a variant of Messagepart: Multipart and I was wondering how I should handle this when rendering attachments. Is there a test case for this?

[mdecimus]

The MessagePart:Multipart type stores the raw headers of a nested MIME multipart and are never returned by the Message::get_attachments() iterator, so you can safely ignore them. The MessagePart:Multipart type is only used when accessing the raw MIME structure of the message, which is available in Message::structure field. In future releases a method will be added to explore the raw body structure of messages.

Thank you! I saw that in 0.4.0 you re-added MessagePart::InlineBinary, can that one also be ignored when rendering attachments? I'm currently only rendering the text_body and all attachments, but I was wondering if anything (other than the HTML markup) would get lost that way.

[mdecimus]

Inline binaries are embeddable content (such as images or videos) which are part of an HTML or text body. It is up to you if you want to render these as attachments, but most email clients do not consider these attachments since they are part of the message body. Hope it helps!

Well, I was wondering if these'll show up in Message::get_attachments or not

[mdecimus]

Yes, they will show up in get_attachments.
