Reading the HTTP RFC today I learnt that MIME types can have some number of colon seperated key value pairs attached. e.g. text/plain;charset=us-ascii or text/plain;charset=utf8;lang=en_AU The first means plain text encoded as US-ASCII and the second is plain text in UTF8 and australian english. Does Haiku / Zeta support this? BMime? It doesn't have to understand although it would be good if it did. This is the ABNF media-type = type "/" subtype *( ";" parameter ) type = token subtype = token See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046 Haiku OS - Free, Open, and Fantastic: http://haiku-os.org/ Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
