MAC-TO-MIME-CONTENT-TYPES mapping table

When doing conversion to Appledouble or Block format, the   mapping table may be used to indicate what  specific MIME label to put on the data fork of the Appledouble part, or  the Block part, respectively,  depending on what the Macintosh creator and Macintosh  type information in the original Macintosh file were. Probes for this table have the form format&#x7c;type&#x7c;creator&#x7c;filename where  is one of ,    or   , where   and    are the Macintosh type and Macintosh  creator information in hex, respectively, and where    is the file name. For instance, to convert to Appledouble when sending to the    channel and when  doing so to use specific MIME labels for any MS Word or PostScript  documents converted from MACBINARY or BINHEX parts, appropriate tables  might be: CHARSET-CONVERSION IN-CHAN=&#x2a;;OUT-CHAN=ims-ms;CONVERT    Appledouble MAC-TO-MIME-CONTENT-TYPES ! PostScript MACBINARY&#x7c;45505346&#x7c;76677264&#x7c;&#x2a;    APPLICATION/POSTSCRIPT$Y BINHEX&#x7c;45505346&#x7c;76677264&#x7c;&#x2a;       APPLICATION/POSTSCRIPT$Y ! Microsoft Word MACBINARY&#x7c;5744424E&#x7c;4D535744&#x7c;&#x2a;    APPLICATION/MSWORD$Y BINHEX&#x7c;5744424E&#x7c;4D535744&#x7c;&#x2a;       APPLICATION/MSWORD$Y Note that the template (right hand side) of the mapping entry must have the   flag set in order for the specified labelling to be  performed.

Sample entries for additional types of attachments may be found listed in Sample MacMIME entries.

If you wish to convert non-MacMIME format parts to Binhex or Macbinary format, such parts need to have X-MAC-TYPE and X-MAC-CREATOR MIME  Content-type: parameter values provided. Note that MIME relabelling can be used to force such parameters onto parts that would not otherwise  have them; see  Relabelling MIME header lines  for a discussion of MIME relabelling.
