# MIME Module

The MIME module allows for the simple encoding and decoding of MIME structures, such as message attachments and file uploads.

## Syntax

```text
IPWorksSMIME.MIME
```

## Remarks

The class may be used for decoding or encoding of messages. [Message](#message-property-mime-module) holds the content of the encoded message or the filename that holds the encoded data. The decoded data are provided in [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection.

To decode a MIME message, you should first assign either the whole message (headers and body) to [Message](#message-property-mime-module) or put the message headers into the [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) property and the message body or the filename holding it into the [Message](#message-property-mime-module) property. Calling [DecodeFromFile](#decodefromfile-method-mime-module) or [DecodeFromString](#decodefromstring-method-mime-module) directs the class to start parsing the message: it will fill out the [ContentType](#contenttype-property-mime-module) and [ContentTypeAttr](#contenttypeattr-property-mime-module) properties with message content-type information, and it will enter information about message parts into the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection, which includes part sizes, part content types, part content type attributes, part content disposition, part content disposition attributes, part encoding, part name, part filename, part headers, or part content (part-decoded string or part-decoded file) for each decoded part.

Calling the [DecodeFromString](#decodefromstring-method-mime-module) or [DecodeFromFile](#decodefromfile-method-mime-module) to decode does not actually decode the message but only parses it. The real decoding is done when the part content in the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection is first accessed.

To encode data into a MIME message, you should first assign values for each part to either a part-decoded string or a part- decoded file in the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection property, and optionally assign values to the other part attributes in the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection. Assigning a value to the part-decoded string or a part-decoded file through the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection, fills out automatically the part headers into the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection for the respective part. Calling [EncodeToFile](#encodetofile-method-mime-module) or [EncodeToString](#encodetostring-method-mime-module) directs the class to fill out the [Message](#message-property-mime-module) with the message body and the [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) with the headers.

The [Progress](#progress-event-mime-module) event is fired as the message is parsed and the data are decoded/encoded.

## Syntax

```text
public var boundary: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property contains the boundary separating the MIME parts and has a maximum length of 80 bytes. The class automatically generates a random boundary value during encoding, if no value is given. During decoding, this property is filled with the boundary from the actual MIME message.

The class will truncate any string longer than 80 bytes if assigned to Boundary.

# ContentType Property ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This property includes the value of the content-type header of the message that was encoded/decoded.

## Syntax

```text
public var contentType: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property contains the value of the content-type header of the message that was encoded/decoded. The class filters it out from the [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module). It shows the user information about the type of the parts and their relation to each other.

The content-type attributes, such as filename, boundary, and charset, are held in this property.

# ContentTypeAttr Property ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This property includes the attributes of the content-type header of the message that was encoded or decoded.

## Syntax

```text
public var contentTypeAttr: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property contains content-type attributes such as "filename", "boundary", and "charset".

# Message Property ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This property contains the encoded message text or a path to a file that contains the encoded message text.

## Syntax

```text
public var message: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}
public var messageB: Data {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property contains the encoded message text or a path to a file that contains the encoded message text. The class fills out this property with the message body and [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) during encoding. The user may assign both the headers and the body to this property and leave [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) empty before decoding.

# MessageHeaders Property ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This property includes the headers of the MIME message.

## Syntax

```text
public var messageHeaders: Array<Header> {
  get {...}
}
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

This property contains the headers of the MIME message. The class fills out this property upon encoding. The user should use them as additional headers when emailing the [Message](#message-property-mime-module).

During decoding, if this property is empty, the class will try to find the headers in the beginning of the [Message](#message-property-mime-module) and then will fill out this property accordingly.

This property is read-only.

# MessageHeadersString Property ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This property includes the string version of the MIME message headers.

## Syntax

```text
public var messageHeadersString: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The component fills out MessageHeadersString upon encoding. The user should use these strings as additional headers when emailing the [Message](#message-property-mime-module).

This property contains a string version of the MIME message headers. During decoding, if this property is empty, the class will try to find the headers in the beginning of the [Message](#message-property-mime-module) and will fill out this property accordingly.

# Parts Property ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This property contains information about all parts of a MIME message.

## Syntax

```text
public var parts: Array<MIMEPart> {
  get {...}
}
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

This property contains information about all parts of a MIME message. A MIME message consists of different parts, separated by either a user-specified or an auto-generated boundary. Each part has its own set of headers that are contained in the  field.

The MIMEPARTS collection is filled out by the class when a call to either [DecodeFromFile](#decodefromfile-method-mime-module) or [DecodeFromString](#decodefromstring-method-mime-module) is made. However, when the [EncodeToFile](#encodetofile-method-mime-module) or [EncodeToString](#encodetostring-method-mime-module) methods are called, the class encodes the data given in either  or  into a MIME message.

This property is read-only.

# Config Method ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

```text
public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String
```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-mime-module) for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-mime-module), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# DecodeFromFile Method ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This method decodes from a file.

## Syntax

```text
public func decodeFromFile() throws -> Void
```

## Remarks

This method decodes the data file given in [Message](#message-property-mime-module) and optionally [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) and fills out the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection for each decoded part.

**Example. Decoding from a File:**

```text
MIMEControl.Message = "C:\filename.txt"
MIMEControl.DecodeFromFile
```

In this example, *C:\filename.txt* must contain the MIME headers and body. If not, the [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) property must be set to the appropriate MIME headers.

# DecodeFromString Method ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This method decodes from a string.

## Syntax

```text
public func decodeFromString() throws -> Void
```

## Remarks

This method decodes from a string. It is the same as DecodeFromFile, but now the [Message](#message-property-mime-module) denotes the real encoded message rather than a filename.

This method decodes the data given in [Message](#message-property-mime-module) and optionally [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) and fills out the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection.

**Example. Decoding a Mail Message:**

```text
MIMEControl.MessageHeadersString = MailControl.MessageHeaders
MIMEControl.Message = MailControl.MessageText
MIMEControl.DecodeFromString
```

# DecodePart Method ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This method decodes the specified part.

## Syntax

```text
public func decodePart(index: Int32) throws -> Data
```

## Remarks

This method decodes the part specified by *index* and returns the decoded part data.

[DecodeFromString](#decodefromstring-method-mime-module) or [DecodeFromFile](#decodefromfile-method-mime-module) must be called before calling this method. Calling this method will return the decoded bytes, and in addition, the PartsDecodedString property will be populated with the string representation of the decoded data.

**Example. Decoding a Specified Part:**

```csharp
mime.MessageHeadersString = myMessageHeaders;
mime.Message = myMessageBody;
mime.DecodeFromString();

byte[] myPartContent = await mime.DecodePart(0);
```

# DecodePartToFile Method ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This method decodes the specified part to a file on disk.

## Syntax

```text
public func decodePartToFile(index: Int32) throws -> String
```

## Remarks

This method decodes the part specified by *index* to a temporary file. The full path to the temporary file is returned by this method. The user is responsible for deleting the temporary file.

[DecodeFromString](#decodefromstring-method-mime-module) or [DecodeFromFile](#decodefromfile-method-mime-module) must be called before calling this method.

# EncodeToFile Method ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This method encodes to a file.

## Syntax

```text
public func encodeToFile() throws -> Void
```

## Remarks

This method encodes the data given in [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection (either a decoded file or a decoded string) into a MIME message at [Message](#message-property-mime-module) and [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) using the values optionally given in [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection. To encode several objects into a MIME envelope, the user should first clear any old values left in the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection.

The class will check for each item in [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection (first the decoded file and then the decoded string) for the data to encode.

The encoded message will be saved in the file pointed to by [Message](#message-property-mime-module); the message headers will be held by [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module).

**Example. Encoding Data:**

```text
MIMEControl.ResetData()
MIMEControl.PartCount = 2
MIMEControl.PartDecodedString(0) = "This is plain text data"
MIMEControl.PartEncoding(0) = peQuotedPrintable
MIMEControl.PartContentType(0) = "text/plain"
MIMEControl.PartDecodedFile(1) = "C:\filename.txt"
MIMEControl.Message = "temp.tmp"
MIMEControl.EncodeToFile()
```

# EncodeToString Method ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This method encodes to a string.

## Syntax

```text
public func encodeToString() throws -> Void
```

## Remarks

This method encodes to a string. It is the same as [EncodeToFile](#encodetofile-method-mime-module) but the encoded data are held in the [Message](#message-property-mime-module) property rather than saved to a file.

This method encodes the data given in the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection into a MIME message. The message gets stored in [Message](#message-property-mime-module) and [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) using the values optionally given in [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection. To encode several objects into a MIME envelope, the user should first clear any old values left in the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection by calling [ResetData](#resetdata-method-mime-module).

The class will check each item in the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) collection (first the decoded file and then the decoded string) for the data to encode.

The encoded message will be stored in the [Message](#message-property-mime-module) property; the message headers will be held by [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module).

**Example. Encoding Data:**

```text
MIMEControl.ResetData()
MIMEControl.PartCount = 2
MIMEControl.PartDecodedString(0) = "This is plain text data"
MIMEControl.PartEncoding(0) = peQuotedPrintable
MIMEControl.PartContentType(0) = "text/plain"
MIMEControl.PartDecodedFile(1) = "C:\filename.txt"
MIMEControl.EncodeToString()
```

# Reset Method ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This method will reset the component.

## Syntax

```text
public func reset() throws -> Void
```

## Remarks

This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.

# ResetData Method ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This method resets the values of all headers and part properties.

## Syntax

```text
public func resetData() throws -> Void
```

## Remarks

This method resets the values of all headers and part properties. It is an easy way to reset the class's properties before starting to populate the part properties with new values.

# Error Event ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

## Syntax

```text
func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)
```

## Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class .

The *ErrorCode* parameter contains an error code, and the *Description* parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-mime-module) section.

# Header Event ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This event is fired every time a header is parsed.

## Syntax

```text
func onHeader(partIndex: Int32, field: String, value: Data)
```

## Remarks

The *PartIndex* parameter contains the index of the part containing the current header. If the header is from the MIME body, this value will be -1. The *Field* parameter contains the name of the MIME header. The *Value* parameter contains the header contents. The Header event is fired when a header is parsed, which occurs for each header of the message when [DecodeFromFile](#decodefromfile-method-mime-module), [DecodeFromString](#decodefromstring-method-mime-module), or DecodeFromStream is called.

# Progress Event ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

This event shows the progress of decoding or encoding the input data.

## Syntax

```text
func onProgress(percentDone: Int32)
```

## Remarks

The Progress allows the user to visualize the progress of processing the input data.

The *PercentDone* parameter shows what percentage of the input has been read.

# Header Type

This is an HTTP header as it is received from the server.

## Remarks

When a header is received through a Header event, it is parsed into a [Header](#header-type) type. This type contains a , and its corresponding .

The following fields are available:

- [Field](#Header_f_Field)

- [Value](#Header_f_Value)

## Fields

 **field** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

This property contains the name of the HTTP [Header](#header-type) (this is the same case as it is delivered).

 **value** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

This property contains the [Header](#header-type) contents.

## Constructors

*Swift Syntax*

```text
public init()
```

*Swift Syntax*

```text
public init(field: , value: )
```

# MIMEPart Type

This is a part of the MIME message.

## Remarks

Each MIME message is split into parts. A message must have at least one part to be a valid MIME message. The message itself is split into the [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module) and the [Message](#message-property-mime-module) body. The body is then split into MIME parts by a specified or generated [Boundary](#boundary-property-mime-module). Each part of a MIME message has its own  as well. These headers describe the [MIMEPart](#mimepart-type) and its contents.

The decoded data will be held in  or otherwise will be saved in a temporary file given by  when the user asks for the value of the respective field.

If the encoded data are file data, the decoded file(s) will be given in the  field. Otherwise, the decoded data will be in the  field.

When the [EncodeToString](#encodetostring-method-mime-module) method is called, the class will check for each item in the [Parts](#parts-property-mime-module) (first the  and then the ) for the data to encode.

The following fields are available:

- [ContentDisposition](#MIMEPart_f_ContentDisposition)

- [ContentDispositionAttr](#MIMEPart_f_ContentDispositionAttr)

- [ContentId](#MIMEPart_f_ContentId)

- [ContentType](#MIMEPart_f_ContentType)

- [ContentTypeAttr](#MIMEPart_f_ContentTypeAttr)

- [DecodedFile](#MIMEPart_f_DecodedFile)

- [DecodedString](#MIMEPart_f_DecodedString)

- [Encoding](#MIMEPart_f_Encoding)

- [FileName](#MIMEPart_f_FileName)

- [Headers](#MIMEPart_f_Headers)

- [Name](#MIMEPart_f_Name)

- [Size](#MIMEPart_f_Size)

## Fields

When decoding, call [DecodePartToFile](#decodeparttofile-method-mime-module) to decode a specific part to a file on disk.

 **decodedStringB** *Data*
*Default Value: ""*

This property holds the actual content of each part. The class decodes the actual part of [Message](#message-property-mime-module) to  when 's value is first queried.

Setting a value to  fills out the corresponding  with the string size if the corresponding  is empty.

The class checks during encoding first : if it is empty, then the class uses the value of .

NOTE: It is recommended to use the [DecodePart](#decodepart-method-mime-module) method instead of querying this property.

 **decodedString** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Setting a value to  fills out the corresponding  with the string size if the corresponding  is empty.

The class checks during encoding first : if it is empty, then the class uses the value of .

NOTE: It is recommended to use the [DecodePart](#decodepart-method-mime-module) method instead of querying this property.

 **encoding** *MIMEPartEncodings*
*Default Value: 0*

This property contains the actual content encoding type for each part. This property determines how to encode the data or how they actually were encoded in the [Message](#message-property-mime-module), as specified in the *Content-Transfer-Encoding* header.

Possible values for the this property are as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| pe7bit (0) | 7 Bit data, no encoding. |

| peUUEncode (5) | Uuencoding of binary data. |

 **fileName** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

This property contains the filename attribute specified in the headers of the part. Changing the value of the corresponding  automatically sets the  and consequently the .

 **headers** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

This property contains the headers for each MIME part. The class fills out this property each time any of the other corresponding part properties are changed. If additional headers are needed, they should be appended after all of the other corresponding part properties are set.

 **name** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

This property contains the name given to a part, such as the filename. Changing the value of  automatically sets the corresponding  and consequently the .

 **size** *Int32 (read-only)*

# Config Settings ([MIME](#mime-module) Module)

 The class accepts one or more of the following *configuration settings*. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [Config](#config-method-mime-module) method.

### MIME Config Settings

**DecodeMessageHeaders**: Instructs the component to automatically decode message headers.Message headers that have been Quoted-Printable or Base64 encoded are automatically decoded when this configuration setting is True. The default value of this setting is False.

**IncludeHeaders**: Tells the class whether to include the headers when encoding the message.If True, the class will include the headers when [EncodeToFile](#encodetofile-method-mime-module) or [EncodeToString](#encodetostring-method-mime-module) are called. If False, only the message will be encoded.

The default value for [IncludeHeaders](#IncludeHeaders) is False.

**RequireVersionHeader**: Specifies whether or not the class should require the version header.If True, the class will require that the "MIME-Version" header be included in the [MessageHeaders](#messageheaders-property-mime-module). If the header is not present during decoding, the component . This configuration setting is False by default.

**SanitizeFileName**: Whether invalid characters are replaced in MIME part filenames.If True, the class will replace invalid characters with an underscore when decoding the MIME message. This applies to the filename held in the PartsFileName property. When True, the following characters are considered invalid:

- \
- /
- "
- :
- ?
- *
- <
- >
- |

 Any characters with ASCII values between 0 and 31 are also considered invalid. The default value is False.

**TempFilePath**: If set, the temporary files created during MIME decoding and encoding will be put in the path specified. The [TempFilePath](#TempFilePath) property sets the path at which the temporary files will be created.

### Base Config Settings

**BuildInfo**: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

**CodePage**: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

**LicenseInfo**: Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.

**MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *true* to mask sensitive data. The default is *true*.

**UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *false*, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to *true* tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

 This setting is set to *false* by default on all platforms.
