Send messages with MIME content

  • Makale

Many email clients can send messages through Exchange in a MIME message format and communicate across multiple email platforms.

The Outlook mail API supports the following actions on messages with MIME content:

  • Send messages.
  • Send reply or reply-all messages.
  • Forward messages.
  • Create draft messages.
  • Attach S/MIME signatures to a messages.
  • Encrypt message content using S/MIME.

Important

  • S/MIME provides two key features: digital signatures to verify sender and email contents, and message encryption to prevent third parties from viewing email contents.
  • Add S/MIME digital signatures and encrypted content to emails only in their MIME message format.

For more information on MIME format, see getting MIME content of a message.

Specify request header and MIME message body

You can create a message in JSON or MIME format. Specify the intended format in the request header:

  • Content-Type: application/json to use JSON format in the request body.
  • Content-Type: text/plain to use MIME format in the request body.

When specifying the body in MIME format, provide the applicable Internet message headers and the MIME content, and encode them in base64 format in the request body. Microsoft Graph does not support editing or updating MIME properties individually.

Example

The following is an example of MIME content with Internet message headers (before encoding):
