mmime — create MIME messages
Contents
Description
mmime generates a ‘multipart/mixed’ message from the standard input, extending, wrapping, and encoding
the header as necessary, and replacing lines in the message body of the form
#content/type[#content-disposition] path[>filename]
with a MIME part having Content-Type content/type, consisting of the contents of the file found at path.
content-disposition is optional and defaults to ‘attachment’. filename is optional and defaults to the
basename of path.
The options are as follows:
-c Check mode: don't output anything, exit with status 1 if MIME-encoding the message is required,
or else exit with status 0.
-r Raw mode: don't expand MIME parts in the body, generate a ‘text/plain’ message.
-tcontent-type
Override Content-Type for the toplevel part. Defaults to ‘multipart/mixed’.
Exit Status
The mmime utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
