body
Note
This is a field rather than a method, so you must use mimepart.body
rather than mimepart:body to reference it.
Since: Dev Builds Only
The functionality described in this section requires a dev build of KumoMTA. You can obtain a dev build by following the instructions in the Installation section.
The body field allows reading or writing the transfer-decoded content of the
mimepart. For example, if the incoming message has base64 encoded the
content and applied a Content-Transfer-Encoding header on the part to
indicate that it is base64 encoded, mimepart.body will base64-decode the
content before returning the bytes to your code.
If/when you assign the body field, appropriate transfer encoding will be
applied to the raw content that you provide.
Note
Replacing the content doesn't implicitly change the Content-Type of the
part, so you are responsible for ensuring that any modification you make to
the part keeps the resulting message logically correct. See also
mimepart:replace_body for a variation of this that
allows you to change the Content-Type as part of the assignment.
