BACKGROUND
----------
At the simplest level, multipart/alternative means "pick one of these and
display it." However, it's actually a lot more complicated than that.
The alternatives are in preference order, and counterintuitively, they go
from *least* to *most* preferred rather than the reverse. Therefore, when
we're parsing, we can't just take the first one we like and throw the rest
away -- we have to parse through the whole thing, discarding the n'th part if
we are capable of displaying the n+1'th.
Adding a wrinkle to that is the fact that we give the user the option of
demanding the plain-text alternative even though we are perfectly capable of
displaying the HTML, and it is almost always the preferred format, i.e., it
almost always comes after the plain-text alternative.
Speaking of which, you can't assume that each of the alternatives is just a
basic text/[whatever]. There may be, for example, a text/plain followed by a
multipart/related which contains text/html and associated embedded
images. Yikes!
You also can't assume that there will be just two parts. There can be an
arbitrary number, and the ones we are capable of displaying and the ones we
aren't could be interspersed in any order by the producer of the MIME.
We can't just throw away the parts we're not displaying when we're processing
the MIME for display. If we were to do that, then the MIME parts that
remained wouldn't get numbered properly, and that would mean, for example,
that deleting attachments wouldn't work in some messages. Indeed, that very
problem is what prompted a rewrite of this file into its current
architecture.
ARCHITECTURE
------------
Parts are read and queued until we know whether we're going to display
them. If the first pending part is one we don't know how to display, then we
can add it to the MIME structure immediately, with output_p disabled. If the
first pending part is one we know how to display, then we can't add it to the
in-memory MIME structure until either (a) we encounter a later, more
preferred part we know how to display, or (b) we reach the end of the
parts. A display-capable part of the queue may be followed by one or more
display-incapable parts. We can't add them to the in-memory structure until
we figure out what to do with the first, display-capable pending part,
because otherwise the order and numbering will be wrong. All of the logic in
this paragraph is implemented in the flush_children function.
The display_cached_part function is what actually adds a MIME part to the
in-memory MIME structure. There is one complication there which forces us to
violate abstrations... Even if we set output_p on a child before adding it to
the parent, the parse_begin function resets it. The kluge I came up with to
prevent that was to give the child a separate options object and set
output_fn to nullptr in it, because that causes parse_begin to set output_p to
false. This seemed like the least onerous way to accomplish this, although I
can't say it's a solution I'm particularly fond of.
Another complication in display_cached_part is that if we were just a normal
multipart type, we could rely on MimeMultipart_parse_line to notify emitters
about content types, character sets, part numbers, etc. as our new children
get created. However, since we defer creation of some children, the
notification doesn't happen there, so we have to handle it
ourselves. Unfortunately, this requires a small abstraction violation in
MimeMultipart_parse_line -- we have to check there if the entity is
multipart/alternative and if so not notify emitters there because
MimeMultipartAlternative_create_child handles it.
- Jonathan Kamens, 2010-07-23
When the option prefer_plaintext is on, the last text/plain part
should be preferred over any other part that can be displayed. But
if no text/plain part is found, then the algorithm should go as
normal and convert any html part found to text. To achieve this I
found that the simplest way was to change the function display_part_p
into returning priority as an integer instead of boolean can/can't
display. Then I also changed the function flush_children so it selects
the last part with the highest priority. (Priority 0 means it cannot
be displayed and the part is never chosen.)
