Set up headers to differentiate between recipients

The Change Distribution Attributes (CHGDSTA) command changes the content of message services attributes (X.400 support) for mail distributions.

The Keep Recipient (KEEPRCP) parameter specifies which recipient information is stored and sent within each mail distribution. The setting of this parameter affects how the MIME headers get created for a note from SNDDST.

In order for CC and BCC tags to show up in MIME headers (and client screens), you must set the KEEPRCP parameter to *ALL. BCC recipients are not shown regardless of the setting of this parameter because they are not intended to be. The TO and CC recipients show up in the text of the SNDDST note.

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension content types

Standard Internet text notes consist of a general header and a text body. Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) notes, however, can contain multiple parts, which allow multimedia attachments to be included with the text.

If the general header contains a content type of Multipart/Mixed, one or more attachments follow. There are beginning and ending boundaries for each attachment. The boundary identifier is set on the boundary= parameter that follows the Content-Type header tag. See Figure 1 for an example of a multipart MIME note. In this example, each part has a content type, and each text content type can optionally have a character set (charset) defined.
