Method MIME.generate_boundary()

Method generate_boundary

string generate_boundary()

Description

This function will create a string that can be used as a separator string for multipart messages. If a boundary prefix has been set using MIME.set_boundary_prefix(), the generated string will be prefixed with the boundary prefix.

The generated string is guaranteed not to appear in base64, quoted-printable, or x-uue encoded data. It is also unlikely to appear in normal text. This function is used by the cast method of the Message class if no boundary string is specified.
