Hello! I am interested in enabling different MIME "subpart types" [1] such as alternative, digest and parallel to be specified in MimeMailer and the email task.
It seems, from the javax documentation [2,3] that this is an easy task and basically just consists of setting a string when the MimeMultipart object is made. However, there are only certain possible values of this string. I can see how one can use enumeration classes to constrain this in the task classes. My question, then, is: Should the option string be in the EmailTask class (which also deals with other types than MIME mail) or in the MimeMailer class, which seems more logical, but then raises the problem of telling ant's buildfile parser about the enumeration types. I'm afraid I'm new to this code, so I may have missed a trick, but I have spent quite a lot of time reading articles on the web referenced from the ant site - if I have missed something explaining how this should be done, a reference would be great! I'm actually interested in writing this for something I'm working on that needs the capability, but this would also close bug 34907, which is an enhancement request for this feature. Thanks in advance for any help, Rupert Swarbrick [1] http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html [2] http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/javamail/javadoc/javax/mail/internet/MimeMultipart.html [3] http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/internet/MimeMultipart.html
