Method MIME.guess_subtype()

Method guess_subtype

string guess_subtype(string type)

Description

Provide a reasonable default for the subtype field.

Some pre-RFC 1521 mailers provide only a type and no subtype in the Content-Type header field. This function can be used to obtain a reasonable default subtype given the type of a message. (This is done automatically by the MIME.Message class.)

Currently, the function uses the following guesses:

"text"	"plain"
"message"	"rfc822"
"multipart"	"mixed"
