<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"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Message</span></tt></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"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Message</span></tt></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"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Message</span></tt></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."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">email</span></tt></a> package provides some convenient subclasses to
make things easier.</p>
<p>Here are the classes:</p>

<p>This is the base class for all the MIME-specific subclasses of
<a class="reference internal" href="email.message.html#email.message.Message" title="email.message.Message"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Message</span></tt></a>.  Ordinarily you won&#8217;t create instances
specifically of <a class="reference internal" href="#email.mime.base.MIMEBase" title="email.mime.base.MIMEBase"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MIMEBase</span></tt></a>, although you could.  <a class="reference internal" href="#email.mime.base.MIMEBase" title="email.mime.base.MIMEBase"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MIMEBase</span></tt></a>
is provided primarily as a convenient base class for more specific
MIME-aware subclasses.</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 <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">Message.add_header()</span></tt>.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#email.mime.base.MIMEBase" title="email.mime.base.MIMEBase"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MIMEBase</span></tt></a> class always adds a <em class="mailheader">Content-Type</em> header
(based on <em>_maintype</em>, <em>_subtype</em>, and <em>_params</em>), and a
<em class="mailheader">MIME-Version</em> header (always set to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">1.0</span></tt>).</p>
