cc:Mail does not provide a means of directly associating content type information with its attachments. However, cc:Mail does provide file name information, which can be used to infer MIME content types. Similarly, MIME content types can be converted into appropriate file names for cc:Mail use. These optional conversions are implemented using a set of mapping tables in the mapping file. See Chapter 5 for general information on the mapping file.
The following sections describe all the mappings used by the cc:Mail
channel. Examples of these mappings are also provided in a sample file
cc_mappings.sample in the PMDF table directory,
i.e., PMDF_TABLE:cc_mappings.sample on OpenVMS or
/pmdf/table/cc_mappings.sample on UNIX, included as part
of the PMDF distribution.
38.5.8.1 MIME-CONTENT-TYPES-TO-CC Mapping
The MIME-CONTENT-TYPES-TO-CC mapping table maps MIME content type and
subtype information into cc:Mail file name information. A minimal
MIME-CONTENT-TYPES-TO-CC mapping would be:
MIME-CONTENT-TYPES-TO-CC APPLICATION/POSTSCRIPT PS.PS IMAGE/GIF GIF.GIF IMAGE/TIFF TIFF.TIF TEXT/PLAIN TEXT.TXT |
38.5.8.2 CC-TO-MIME-CONTENT-TYPES Mapping
The CC-TO-MIME-CONTENT-TYPES mapping table maps cc:Mail attachment file
names into MIME content type and subtype information. A minimal
CC-TO-MIME-CONTENT-TYPES mapping would be:
CC-TO-MIME-CONTENT-TYPES *.PS APPLICATION/POSTSCRIPT *.GIF IMAGE/GIF *.TIF IMAGE/TIFF *.TXT TEXT/PLAIN *.BAT TEXT/PLAIN |
38.5.8.3 CC-TO-MIME-ENCODINGS Mapping
The CC-TO-MIME-ENCODINGS mapping table maps cc:Mail attachment file
names into MIME content type and subtype information. A minimal
CC-TO-MIME-ENCODINGS mapping would be:
CC-TO-MIME-ENCODINGS *.PS QUOTED-PRINTABLE *.GIF BASE64 *.TIF BASE64 *.TXT 8BIT *.BAT 7BIT |
