;  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)
