The MimePart Object

A MimePart object represents the parsed MIME structure of an RFC 5322 formatted message. Complex messages form a tree that is composed of various MimeParts and there are multiple different ways to build a MIME tree to, for example, represent a message with a single attachment.

MimePart is the name of the underlying Rust type, but it is exposed through to lua via a PartRef that acts as a handle to the MimePart that allows safely modifying the MIME structure.

There are few different ways to obtain a MimePart:

• By parsing it from a Message object via msg:parse_mime
• By creating parts using the kumo.mimepart module

!!! info Printing or otherwise explicitly converting a MimePart object as a string will produce the RFC 5322 representation of that MimePart and its children.
