- MIME in Arachne
- ---------------
-
- Arachne supports MIME V1.0 and many extensions to it.
-
- Outgoing binary attachments are encoded using base64 algorithm, for text
- attachments Arachne uses quoted-printable algorithm. For eMail body,
- you can choose either 7bit, 8bit or quoted-printable encoding -
- you can configure this from Desktop | Options | Network preferences.
-
- Multiple files attached to single message will be all extracted to
- CACHE subdirectory, so if you are sending HTML page to Arachne user,
- you can easily use relative links like <A HREF="file1.htm"> or
- <IMG SRC="file2.gif">, if these files are attached to the same message.
-
- However, Microsoft Outlook uses more complicated way to link multiple
- objects in eMail message, called "Content-ID". Arachne is currently able
- to generate Content-ID, which looks like "arachne-namespace/filename",
- so it is easy to create links to such objects. In this version (1.41 beta),
- Arachne doesn't support "cid:" pseudo-protocol, which is required to access
- these objects (eg. cid:arachne-namespace/mybackground.gif).
-
- "cid:" protocol will be implemented later.
