[gmime-devel] g_mime_message_foreach_part does not recurse

[djcb <djcb bulk gmail com>]

Hi,

I am writing a maildir index & search program, and I use GMime for
parsing the messages. I try to determine the message body using
g_mime_message_foreach_part. However, it seems that function only gets
the parts on the current level, and does not recurse. Is that expected
behaviour. Maybe it should be documented?

To show this, I ran a patched test-parser with (patch attached). I get:

$ ./test-parser ./test1.eml

Testing MIME parser...

[...]

Content-Type: MULTIPART/MIXED
   Content-Type: MULTIPART/ALTERNATIVE
      Content-Type: text/plain
      Content-Type: text/html
   Content-Type: image/jpeg
**** g_mime_message_foreach_part
MULTIPART/ALTERNATIVE
image/jpeg


So, in the foreach case, the inner-parts are not seen.

Best wishes,
Dirk.
