Overview ¶
Package mime encodes electronic mail parts for delivery.
One way to encode the message is as either mixed or related, depending on the presence of inline attachments:
multipart/related |- multipart/alternative | |- text/plain | `- text/html |- attachments... `- inline_attachments...
This approach may not work in older clients, like Apple Mail.
A better way to structure the multipart MIME message is by subordinating the inline attachments to the alternative related part. The packages uses this approach to ensure compatibility with older clients:
multipart/mixed |- multipart/alternative | |- text/plain | `- multipart/related | |- text/html | `- inline_attachments... `- attachments...
Inline images can be encoded into the HTML image tag as base64 encoded data. However, Outlook completely blocks such images. Therefore, this package always encodes inline images as attachments and references them via a content ID in the HTML image source attribute.
All output of this package is wrapped to LineLengthLimit, not just the headers. RFC 5321 requires that electronic mail text lines must not exceed 1,000 characters. This requirement is full satisfied. The content of plain text and HTML sections are wrapped by `mime/quotedprintable` encoding of the stardard library.

Functions ¶
func FileContentDisposition ¶
FileContentDisposition returns the value of a Content-Disposition header with the provided field name and file name.
func NewBoundary ¶
func NewEncoderBase64 ¶
func NewEncoderBase64(w io.Writer) io.WriteCloser
NewEncoderBase64 encodes data to standard Base64 encoding while keeping each line under LineLengthLimit. Encoder must be closed to work correctly.
func SplitAttachments ¶
func SplitAttachments(s string, attachments []cachedAttachment) (normal []cachedAttachment, inline []inlineAttachment)
func WriteAddressHeader ¶
WriteAddressHeader writes a list of MIME-mail encoded address header to the given writer. It respects LineLengthLimit by wrapping long lines. If no addresses are provided, it does nothing.
TODO: if the name is too long, it will not be wrapped. TODO: if the email address is too long, it will not be wrapped.
func WriteHeader ¶
TODO: remove <n int> from WriteHeader signature
