I'm also making changes to MimeTools. I've split the mime tag into two tags, mime and boundary. This allows for the conditional inclusion of sub parts. I am currently trying to allow variablized parameters to the tags (and not having much luck!). I want to be able to say <dtml-boundary name="upload_file.filename()"> Anyone have any ideas?

Michael,

I sent a message to Guido, and he suggested something that was much better (I really should not have bothered him with this minor problem.) All that was necessary is to change "MimeTools.py". Basically, I added a parameter to the mime tag, <!--#mime version=true-->. Since I am not a python programmer, somebody should verify that this does what I think it does!?! I have included the subset of MimeTools.py that I changed.

name='mime' blockContinuations=('boundary',) encode=None """I added version=None. I guess this is like a global variable. I am not sure if this is necessary""" version=None

def __init__(self, blocks): self.sections = []

for tname, args, section in blocks: """I added the parameter version""" args = parse_params(args, type=None, disposition=None, encode=None, name=None, version=None)

has_key=args.has_key

if has_key('type'): type = args['type'] else: type = 'application/octet-stream'

if has_key('disposition'): disposition = args['disposition'] else: disposition = ''

if has_key('encode'): encode = args['encode'] else: encode = 'base64'

if has_key('name'): name = args['name'] else: name = '' """I added this. I believe it checks for any value, if no value set to ''""" if has_key('version'): version = args['version'] else: version = ''

if encode not in \ ('base64', 'quoted-printable', 'uuencode', 'x-uuencode', 'uue', 'x-uue', '7bit'): raise MIMEError, ( 'An unsupported encoding was specified in tag')

self.sections.append((type, disposition, encode, name, version, section.blocks))

def render(self, md): contents=[] mw = MimeWriter(StringIO())

"""I added this. If version exists, add the header to 'outer'. This only provides for version 1.0, maybe this should be a variable that is actually passed if there are new future version numbers. """ for x in self.sections: t, d, e, n, v, b = x if v: outer = mw.addheader("MIME-Version", "1.0", prefix=1) outer = mw.startmultipartbody('mixed')

Thanks for the help!
