[Zope] Mime tag not flexible enough

7 Oct 1999

      I needed the ability to be able to conditionally include attachments to a
mail message. Unfortunately the mime tag syntax made this impossible. I've
updated it by splitting the tag into two tags. 

I've submitted it to the bug collector. Anyone have any constructive
criticism?

Here is an example of my syntax.

<dtml-sendmail mailhost=MailHost>
To: blah@lucent.com
From: <dtml-var AUTHENTICATED_USER>@lucent.com
Subject: Bug submission: <dtml-var description> 
<dtml-mime>
<dtml-boundary type="'text/plain'" encode="'7bit'">
<dtml-var mailContent>
</dtml-boundary>
<dtml-with event_log><dtml-if filename><dtml-boundary name=filename
description="'Event Log'"><dtml-var
read></dtml-boundary></dtml-if></dtml-with>
<dtml-with comm_mon><dtml-if filename><dtml-boundary name=filename
description="'Communication Monitor'"><dtml-var
read></dtml-boundary></dtml-if></dtml-with>
<dtml-with archive><dtml-if filename><dtml-boundary name=filename
description="'Archive'"><dtml-var
read></dtml-boundary></dtml-if></dtml-with>
</dtml-mime>
</dtml-sendmail>
