Supported Content Types of the POP Server
The POP server can handle almost any type. If the part does not have a type of
Text with a subtype of plain or enriched or a type of Message with a subtype of
RFC822, the part is stored as a binary PC file. A notation is made in the OfficeVision
text note that is generated when a MIME note is converted.
What about the Type/Subtype of Message/RFC822? This is a commonly-used method
of embedding a note within a note that is often used when forwarding a note. The
POP server handles this type by prefixing any text and binary file notations within
the OfficeVision note with the greater-than (>) character. The number of prefixed
greater-than characters indicates the embed level of the RFC822 message.
