Subject: Ist multipart/mixed really correct?
Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2003 20:09:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3vfsnx75t.fsf@hamster.pflaesterer.de> (raw)
Hi,
from a discussion in another newsgroup about the fact that Gnus under
special circumstances does create multipart postings we thought about
the correct value for the mime header.
Gnus declares the posting as multipart/mixed but according to rfc 2046
multipart/parallel seems to be the correct alternative. WDYT?
,----[ rfc 2046 ]
| The two composite top-level media types are:
|
| (1) multipart -- data consisting of multiple entities of
| independent data types. Four subtypes are initially
| defined, including the basic "mixed" subtype specifying
| a generic mixed set of parts, "alternative" for
| representing the same data in multiple formats,
| "parallel" for parts intended to be viewed
| simultaneously, and "digest" for multipart entities in
| which each part has a default type of "message/rfc822".
