+:mod:`mimetools` --- Tools for parsing MIME messages
+====================================================
+
+.. module:: mimetools
+   :synopsis: Tools for parsing MIME-style message bodies.
+   :deprecated:
+
+
+.. deprecated:: 2.3
+   The :mod:`email` package should be used in preference to the :mod:`mimetools`
+   module.  This module is present only to maintain backward compatibility, and
+   it has been removed in 3.x.
+
+.. index:: module: rfc822
+
+This module defines a subclass of the :mod:`rfc822` module's :class:`Message`
+class and a number of utility functions that are useful for the manipulation for
+MIME multipart or encoded message.
+
+It defines the following items:
+
+
+.. class:: Message(fp[, seekable])
+
+   Return a new instance of the :class:`Message` class.  This is a subclass of the
+   :class:`rfc822.Message` class, with some additional methods (see below).  The
+   *seekable* argument has the same meaning as for :class:`rfc822.Message`.
+
+
+.. function:: choose_boundary()
+
+   Return a unique string that has a high likelihood of being usable as a part
+   boundary.  The string has the form ``'hostipaddr.uid.pid.timestamp.random'``.
+
+
+.. function:: decode(input, output, encoding)
+
+   Read data encoded using the allowed MIME *encoding* from open file object
+   *input* and write the decoded data to open file object *output*.  Valid values
+   for *encoding* include ``'base64'``, ``'quoted-printable'``, ``'uuencode'``,
+   ``'x-uuencode'``, ``'uue'``, ``'x-uue'``, ``'7bit'``, and  ``'8bit'``.  Decoding
+   messages encoded in ``'7bit'`` or ``'8bit'`` has no effect.  The input is simply
+   copied to the output.
+
+
+.. function:: encode(input, output, encoding)
+
+   Read data from open file object *input* and write it encoded using the allowed
+   MIME *encoding* to open file object *output*. Valid values for *encoding* are
+   the same as for :meth:`decode`.
+
+
+.. function:: copyliteral(input, output)
+
+   Read lines from open file *input* until EOF and write them to open file
+   *output*.
+
+
+.. function:: copybinary(input, output)
+
+   Read blocks until EOF from open file *input* and write them to open file
+   *output*.  The block size is currently fixed at 8192.
+
+
+.. seealso::
+
+   Module :mod:`email`
+      Comprehensive email handling package; supersedes the :mod:`mimetools` module.
+
+   Module :mod:`rfc822`
+      Provides the base class for :class:`mimetools.Message`.
+
+   Module :mod:`multifile`
+      Support for reading files which contain distinct parts, such as MIME data.

+      answer to question 1.1 in Part 1 of this document.

+
+Additional Methods of Message Objects
+-------------------------------------
+
+The :class:`Message` class defines the following methods in addition to the
+:class:`rfc822.Message` methods:
+
+
+.. method:: Message.getplist()
+
+   Return the parameter list of the :mailheader:`Content-Type` header. This is a
+   list of strings.  For parameters of the form ``key=value``, *key* is converted
+   to lower case but *value* is not.  For example, if the message contains the
+   header ``Content-type: text/html; spam=1; Spam=2; Spam`` then :meth:`getplist`
+   will return the Python list ``['spam=1', 'spam=2', 'Spam']``.
+
+
+.. method:: Message.getparam(name)
+
+   Return the *value* of the first parameter (as returned by :meth:`getplist`) of
+   the form ``name=value`` for the given *name*.  If *value* is surrounded by
+   quotes of the form '``<``...\ ``>``' or '``"``...\ ``"``', these are removed.
+
+
+.. method:: Message.getencoding()
+
+   Return the encoding specified in the :mailheader:`Content-Transfer-Encoding`
+   message header.  If no such header exists, return ``'7bit'``.  The encoding is
+   converted to lower case.
+
+
+.. method:: Message.gettype()
+
+   Return the message type (of the form ``type/subtype``) as specified in the
+   :mailheader:`Content-Type` header.  If no such header exists, return
+   ``'text/plain'``.  The type is converted to lower case.
+
+
+.. method:: Message.getmaintype()
+
+   Return the main type as specified in the :mailheader:`Content-Type` header.  If
+   no such header exists, return ``'text'``.  The main type is converted to lower
+   case.
+
+
+.. method:: Message.getsubtype()
+
+   Return the subtype as specified in the :mailheader:`Content-Type` header.  If no
+   such header exists, return ``'plain'``.  The subtype is converted to lower case.
