can Content-Type be set of the body of the message?

can Content-Type be set of the body of the message?

[kousik]

Hi,

For attachments, gnus prompt me for a content type (with a sensible
default), but when composing messages, can I set it explicitly? For
example (a bad one, though) if I wrote the email (actually pasted from
somewhere) with html markup tags, for example "<h1>Some Header</
h1><p>some text</p><p>some more</p>" can I explicitly say the content
type is text/html so that the receiving end renders correctly? Or if I
pasted some text which is already quoted-printable, e.g. have `=20'
etc inside, can I edit the content-type to add a transfer-encoding?

Thanks,
Kousik

Maybe this article can be of help:

 "Simple composition of HTML emails in Emacs using Markdown"

  - <http://edward.oconnor.cx/2008/01/html-email-composition-in-emacs>

(You can skip the markdown-parts, if you want, of course :-))


  Best regards,

Thanks. Here are a few more alternatives I discovered:

(1) just forcibly add a header:
Content-Type: text/html

(2) have the html formatted message in *scratch*, then "attach buffer"
    (which should be the only content) and it'll prompt for a type
(enter
    text/html).

Of course both these solutions will not have a multipart/alternative
to
carry the plain text version.
