<P>

<P>

<P>
This module defines the class <tt class=class>MimeWriter</tt>.  The
<tt class=class>MimeWriter</tt> class implements a basic formatter for creating
MIME multi-part files.  It doesn't seek around the output file nor
does it use large amounts of buffer space. You must write the parts
out in the order that they should occur in the final
file. <tt class=class>MimeWriter</tt> does buffer the headers you add, allowing you 
to rearrange their order.

<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name="l2h-2010"><tt class=class>MimeWriter</tt></a></b> (<var>fp</var>)
<dd>
Return a new instance of the <tt class=class>MimeWriter</tt> class.  The only
argument passed, <var>fp</var>, is a file object to be used for
writing. Note that a <tt class=class>StringIO</tt> object could also be used.
