content_type Property

The content type of the outgoing message.

Syntax

def get_content_type() -> str: ...
def set_content_type(value: str) -> None: ...

content_type = property(get_content_type, set_content_type)

Default Value

"text/plain"

Remarks

This property is used to specify the content type (MIME type) for outgoing messages sent using send_message. The default value is text/plain, which should be sufficient is most cases.

Note that this property is ignored for messages sent using send_data, as such messages do not have a content-type header added to them. The absence of a content-type header indicates to the server that the data should be treated as a binary blob.
