mimetype.cfg
[Parameter-Override]
[Mac-Mappings]
[Detect-Mappings]
[Extension-Mappings]
[Parameter-Override]
The
[Parameter-override]
force the encoding scheme for certain file types. This section also contains defaults for sending
various kinds of multipart messages. This is how the Internet Agent knows to put attachments into
MIME Alternate/Parallel multiparts.
[Mac-Mappings]
The section defines mappings for Macintosh file attachments. The following is a
[Mac-mappings]
sample entry:
application/msword mac-wdbnmswd "Word for Macintosh"
Macintosh files have a type and creator associated with them. The first four characters are used for
the type and the last four characters are used for the creator application.
In the above example, the type is
Macintosh file to a message, the Internet Agent uses the appropriate entry in the
section to map the file to a MIME content type and then encode the file according to the assigned
encoding scheme. Unless otherwise specified by the /parms element, BinHex 4.0 is used for the
encoding. The following example shows how you can use the /parms element to change the
encoding from the default (BinHex) to Base64:
application/msword mac-wdbnmswd /base64 "Word for Macintosh"
If necessary, you can use
created by any application. Or, you can use
type created by any application. For example:
application/octet-stream mac-???????? /base64 "Mac Files"
This causes all Macintosh files to be encoded using Base64 rather than BinHex.
