The mimetools.Message class defines the following methods in
addition to the rfc822.Message class:
- getplist ()
-
Return the parameter list of the Content-type header. This is
a list if strings. For parameters of the form
`key=value', key is converted to lower case but
value is not. For example, if the message contains the header
`Content-type: text/html; spam=1; Spam=2; Spam' then
getplist() will return the Python list ['spam=1',
'spam=2', 'Spam'].
- getparam (name)
-
Return the value of the first parameter (as returned by
getplist() of the form `name=value' for the
given name. If value is surrounded by quotes of the form
`<...>' or `"..."', these are removed.

Return the encoding specified in the `Content-transfer-encoding'
message header. If no such header exists, return "7bit". The
encoding is converted to lower case.
- gettype ()
-

as specified in the `Content-type' header. If no such header
exists, return "text/plain". The type is converted to lower
case.

If no such header exists, return "text". The main type is
converted to lower case.
