Subject: mm-encode doesn't know message/rfc822, and base64's them
Date: 07 Dec 1998 16:30:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vxklnkjd4h8.fsf@beaver.jprc.com> (raw)
I wanted to send a message containing a message/rfc822 pulled from my
own archives, but `C-c C-a' didn't understand "message/rfc822" as a
valid type. How do we get more types into the available set? A quick
look through mailcap.el didn't seem to tell me what I wanted to know,
because there are a lot of types there which don't show up in
*Completions* when I try to TAB-complete at the `C-c C-a' prompt.
I can stuff in a message as text/plain initially, and then manually
change it to message/rfc822 in the "part" spec. But then mm-encode.el
wants to base64-encode it, because the CTE defaults aren't terribly
specific. I did this to mm-encode.el:
1998-12-07 Karl Kleinpaste <karl@justresearch.com>
* mm-encode.el (mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults): Add an
entry for message/rfc822 as 8bit.

"Alist of regexps that match MIME types and their encodings.")
But I suspect that something much more general is really in order
here. And I don't know whether 8bit is appropriate, or if perhaps
quoted-printable is what really ought to be used.
