- mhn (part of the mh 6.8 distribution) generates a "table of contents"
- when you scan a message or folder. In is straight forward for a mail
- reader to generate such a table from the body of a MIME message. The
- following is a sample table output from mhn:
-
- % mhn -list 9 +meta-mail
- msg part type/subtype size description
- 9 multipart/alternative 8975
- 1 multipart/mixed 5334
- 1.1 text/richtext 2914
- 1.2 message/external-body 30 The 2.4.CHANGES file
- text/plain
- 1.3 text/richtext 10
- 1.4 message/external-body 64 The core tar file (mm2.4.tar.Z)
- application/octet-stream
- 1.5 text/richtext 10
- 1.6 message/external-body 69 The contrib tar file (contrib2.4.tar
- application/octet-stream
- 1.7 text/richtext 10
- 1.8 message/external-body 65 The DOS tar file (dos2.4.tar.Z)
- application/octet-stream
- 1.9 text/richtext 10
- 1.10 message/external-body 65 The Amiga tar file (amiga2.4.tar)
- application/octet-stream
- 1.11 text/richtext 5
- 2 text/plain 3233

- I am sure that other MIME mail readers are probably capable of
- something similar. Just because you don't have a table of contents in
- the message body doesn't mean that you can't generate one.
