; The Content-Disposition header field provides a suggestion to the receiver for how the content is to be processed.
; The standard dispositions are "inline" and "attachment".  

; A disposition of "attachment" indicates the content is something to be saved to a file and not processed (such as rendering for viewing inline).
; A disposition of "inline" indicates the content should be processed (displayed) inline with the other parts of the MIME message.

; For example, an email client could handle a JPG image based on the disposition.  If the disposition is "attachment",
; the email client (such as Thunderbird, GMail, or Outlook) might simply list the JPG image as one of the email's attachments,
; but won't display the JPG image.  If the disposition is "inline", the email client might display the JPG image, but not list
; it as an attachment.

; The Content-Disposition header field can also include a "filename" attribute.  This is the suggested default filename if the content
; is to be saved to a file.

; The Content-Disposition header field can be set or modified in two ways.
; 1) By setting the Disposition and Filename properties.

; 2) By setting the entire contents of the Content-Disposition header with the SetHeaderField method.
;    Setting the Content-Disposition header automatically updates the Disposition and Filename properties.

; For example:
$oMime.Disposition = "attachment"
$oMime.Filename = "ghost.jpg"

; The Content-Disposition header field contains this:
;     Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="ghost.jpg"
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetEntireHead() & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("-" & @CRLF)

; If we set the entire header field..
$oMime.SetHeaderField("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=""zombie.jpg""")
; The Content-Disposition header field now contains this:
;     Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="zombie.jpg"
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetEntireHead() & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("-" & @CRLF)

; Notice how the Filename property has been updated
ConsoleWrite("Filename property: " & $oMime.Filename & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("-" & @CRLF)

; To change a particular attribute value, set the property.
$oMime.Filename = "skeleton.jpg"
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetEntireHead() & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("-" & @CRLF)

; To remove the filename from the Content-Disposition header,
; set the property to an empty string.
$oMime.Filename = ""
ConsoleWrite($oMime.GetEntireHead() & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("-" & @CRLF)
