long header lines is now (properly) in the Header class. So we no
longer need _split_header() and we'll just defer to Header.encode()
when we have a plain string.
_handle_multipart(): Ensure that if the preamble exists but does not
end in a newline, a newline is still added. Without this, the
boundary separator will end up on the preamble line, breaking the MIME
structure.
_make_boundary(): Handle differences in the decimal point character
based on the locale.
8-bit data, we cannot split it safely, so return the original string
unchanged.
_is8bitstring(): Helper function which returns True when we have a
byte string that contains non-ascii characters (i.e. mysterious 8-bit
data).
_handle_text(): Use _isstring() for stringiness test.
_handle_multipart(): Add a test before the ListType test, checking for
stringiness of the payload. String payloads for multitypes means a
message with broken MIME chrome was parsed by a lax parser. Instead
of raising a BoundaryError in those cases, the entire body is assigned
to the message payload (but since the content type is still
multipart/*, the Generator needs to be updated too).
get the MIME main and sub types, instead of getting the whole ctype
and splitting it here. The two more specific methods now correctly
implement RFC 2045, section 5.2.
recursive generation).
_dispatch(): If the message object doesn't have a Content-Type:
header, check its default type instead of assuming it's text/plain.
This makes for correct generation of message/rfc822 containers.
_handle_multipart(): We can get rid of the isdigest kludge. Just
print the message as normal and everything will work out correctly.
_handle_mulitpart_digest(): We don't need this anymore either.
know anything about RFC 2047 encoded headers. Fortunately we have a
perfectly good header splitter in Header.encode(). So we just call
that to give us a properly formatted and split header.
Header.encode() didn't know about "highest-level syntactic breaks" but
that's been fixed now too.
__call__() can be 2-3x slower than the equivalent normal method.
_handle_message(): The structure of message/rfc822 message has
changed. Now parent's payload is a list of length 1, and the zeroth
element is the Message sub-object. Adjust the printing of such
message trees to reflect this change.
non-us-ascii character sets in headers and bodies. Some API changes
(with DeprecationWarnings for the old APIs). Better RFC-compliant
implementations of base64 and quoted-printable.
Updated test cases. Documentation updates to follow (after I finish
writing them ;).
_handle_multipart(): If there is an epilogue and the epilogue does
not itself start with a newline, add a newline before writing the
epilogue. Closes SF bug #472481.
_split_header(): Split on folding whitespace if the attempt to split
on semi-colons failed.
_split_header(): Patch by Matthew Cowles for fixing SF bug # 471918,
Generator splitting long headers.
_handle_text(): If the payload is None, then just return (i.e. don't
write anything). Subparts of message/delivery-status types
will have this property since they are just blocks of headers.
Also, when raising the TypeError, include the type of the
payload in the error message.
_handle_multipart(), _handle_message(): When creating a clone of self,
pass in our _mangle_from_ and maxheaderlen flags so the clone
has the same behavior.
_handle_message_delivery_status(): New method to do the proper
printing of message/delivery-status type messages. These have
to be handled differently than other message/* types because
their payloads are subparts containing just blocks of headers.
In class DecodedGenerator:
_dispatch(): Skip over multipart/* messages since we don't care
about them, and don't want the non-text format to appear in
the printed results.
<http://sf.net/projects/mimelib>. There /are/ API differences between
mimelib and email, but most of the implementations are shared (except
where cool Py2.2 stuff like generators are used).
