Arguments may be defined on a per content-type basis, or for a specific filter itself. The MIMEARGS resource can only be set via the <CODE>MIMEARGS</CODE> element. The syntax for each line of the the <CODE>MIMEARGS</CODE> element is as follows: </P> <P><var>content-type</var><CODE>;</CODE><var>argument-string</var> </P> <P>Or, </P> <P><var>filter-name</var><CODE>;</CODE><var>argument-string</var> </P> <P>The format of argument strings is dependent on the filter that processes <var>content-type</var> or by the specified filter, <var>filter-name</var>. </P> <P>If an argument string is defined for a filter explicitly and for a content-type that the filter processes, the content-type string will override the filter string. </P> <table border=0 cellpadding=4> <tr valign=top> <td><strong>NOTE</strong></td> <td><p>For backwards compatibility, the values of a MIMEARGS specification can be separated with a colon, "<tt>:</tt>". However, if you use a colon, package qualification of a function must use Perl 4 syntax. </p> </td> </tr> </table> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Default Setting</h2> <PRE> <b><MIMEArgs></b> image/gif; inline image/jpeg; inline image/x-xbitmap; inline image/x-xbm; inline <b></MIMEArgs></b> </PRE> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Resource Variables</h2> <p>N/A </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Examples</h2> <p>The following tells the text/plain filter to italicize quoted text in a followup. </p> <PRE> <b><MIMEArgs></b> text/plain;quote <b></MIMEArgs></b> </PRE> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Version</h2> <p>1.2 </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>See Also</h2> <p> <a href="mimefilters.html">MIMEFILTERS</a> </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <address> 00/10/28 11:13:03<br> <img align="top" src="../monicon.gif" alt=""> <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~ehood/mhonarc.html"><strong>MHonArc</strong></a><br> Copyright © 1997-1998, <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~ehood/">Earl Hood</a>, <a href="mailto:mhonarc@pobox.com">mhonarc@pobox.com</a><br> </address> </body> </html>
