<p>Ordinarily, you get a message object structure by passing a file or some text to
a parser, which parses the text and returns the root message object. However
you can also build a complete message structure from scratch, or even individual
<a class="reference internal" href="email.message.html#email.message.Message" title="email.message.Message"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Message</span></code></a> objects by hand. In fact, you can also take an
existing structure and add new <a class="reference internal" href="email.message.html#email.message.Message" title="email.message.Message"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Message</span></code></a> objects, move them
around, etc. This makes a very convenient interface for slicing-and-dicing MIME
messages.</p>
<p>You can create a new object structure by creating <a class="reference internal" href="email.message.html#email.message.Message" title="email.message.Message"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Message</span></code></a>
instances, adding attachments and all the appropriate headers manually. For MIME
messages though, the <a class="reference internal" href="email.html#module-email" title="email: Package supporting the parsing, manipulating, and generating email messages, including MIME documents."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">email</span></code></a> package provides some convenient subclasses to
make things easier.</p>
<p>Here are the classes:</p>

<p><em>_maintype</em> is the <em class="mailheader">Content-Type</em> major type (e.g. <em class="mimetype">text</em>
or <em class="mimetype">image</em>), and <em>_subtype</em> is the <em class="mailheader">Content-Type</em> minor
type (e.g. <em class="mimetype">plain</em> or <em class="mimetype">gif</em>). <em>_params</em> is a parameter
key/value dictionary and is passed directly to <a class="reference internal" href="email.message.html#email.message.Message.add_header" title="email.message.Message.add_header"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Message.add_header</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#email.mime.base.MIMEBase" title="email.mime.base.MIMEBase"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MIMEBase</span></code></a> class always adds a <em class="mailheader">Content-Type</em> header
