Generic MIME type for a MIME entity?

None I know of. A single multipart part is also message/rfc822 and technically HTTP messages are not MIME entities so there is no common base between them and rfc822 Although parts of an HTTP message may be MIME entities, the actual request/response is not RFC2616 blurs the distinction by referencing 822-family specs in places (sometimes erroneously, for example the references to using RFC2047 for encoding parameters). But HTTP defines its own basic productions for headers and values which are slightly different from — and incompatible with — those defined in RFC2822.So HTTP should not be parsed using standard RFC822 tools... even disregarding the many, many ways in which real-world web browsers and servers diverge from the HTTP standards.

Thanks for the competent response! You are right in pointing out that HTTP message are not strictly MIME entities. However, multipart parts are not message/rfc822 either as they lack the required headers (cf.

RFC 2046 section 5.1 and RFC 822 section 4.1). – buge Feb 4 '10 at 14:51 Hmm, good point, orig-date and from are required by spec even though in practice no real-world tools care. You're right, there probably should be a MIME type for “RFC822 syntax but without any required headersâ€?.

Message/ as a major type had only such subtypes originally, but since then all sorts of other message formats have been added. – bobince Feb 4 '10 at 15:45.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
