Ah, my mistake. I interpreted the language in the RFC:
|
|
|
|
``The MIME part specifier refers to the [MIME-IMB] header for this part.''
|
|
|
|
to mean that only headers specified in [MIME-IMB] should be returned.

I don't believe it's required by RFC 2045 or 2046, and it's not in the
|
|
original message. I don't see a requirement for it in RFC 3501; could
|
|
you please cite the reference? Thanks. I'll add it to the server.
|
|
|
|
On a related subject, the BODYSTRUCTURE requirements for extension
|
|
data for a multipart section are a bit unclear to me. If "body
|
|
disposition", "body language", and "body location" are not available,
|
|
can they be omitted, as I did in my example? If not, should NIL or ""
|
|
be used to indicate a null "body location"?

OK, I'll try that, and report back. My target clients are Apple
|
|
Mail and Thunderbird, so I've been working with them in an attempt to
|
|
understand their peculiarities.
