Stop press! RFC2184 updates how parameter lists are supposed to be dealt with. Not only are they now allowed to contain words encoded in yet a scheme, but you can also split long values thusly: Content-Type: message/external-body; access-type=URL; URL*0="ftp://"; URL*1="cs.utk.edu/pub/moore/bulk-mailer/bulk-mailer.tar" The encoding is a doozy: Content-Type: application/x-stuff; title*=us-ascii'en-us'This%20is%20%2A%2A%2Afun%2A%2A%2A Eek. Anyway, after reading the rest of the document, it turns out that I was right after all -- the params are still not allowed to contain RFC2047-encoded words. They can only be encoded using this new scheme, and the attribute name has to end with an "*" to signal this. Stop press again! RFC2184 has been obsoleted by RFC2231. (Scan, scan.) Oh, it just clarifies a few things, and adds more beautiful examples: Content-Type: application/x-stuff title*0*=us-ascii'en'This%20is%20even%20more%20 title*1*=%2A%2A%2Afun%2A%2A%2A%20 title*2="isn't it!" I really should consult the rfc-index.txt file more... Anyway (yet again), I'll write functions to parse this. rfc2231.el, here I come. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
