Legal values

• MIMEOPTION_DXL (0)
  A document in MIME format is output in DXL primarily as a <mime> element, although the document may contain additional <item> elements as well. This is currently only recommended for use when exporting mail databases. Any document containing MIME-related items is interpreted as a MIME mail message, and most of the items are processed and converted into a single stream of MIME data, much as the Domino router would do to send to another mail server in MIME format. This data becomes the content of the <mime> element.

Note Some of the MIME parts within this content might be content-transfer-encoded so as to not conflict with the character encoding of the DXL document. Because MIME data often contains HTML, which includes special characters such as '<', the Exporter will ususally place the content of the <mime> element within an XML CDATA section so that no escaping of the data is necessary.

• MIMEOPTION_RAW (1) (default)
  Any item whose data type is a MIME data type is output as an <item> which has a <rawitemdata> element containing the raw data for the item, encoded in Base64.

Note This was the only DXL format for MIME data prior to Release 8, and has been retained as the default for backward compatibility with earlier applications.
