I’m confused by the multipart tree structure generated for a mail with alternate text and html, embed and attachment. Here is what go-mail generates:

multipart/mixed 
|-- multipart/related
|   |-- multipart/alternate
|   |   |-- text/plain
|   |   `-- text/html
|   `-- image/jpg
`-- attachment

What I expected to see:

multipart/mixed 
|-- multipart/alternate
|   |-- text/plain
|   `-- multipart/related
|       |-- text/html
|       `-- image/jpg
`-- attachment

This is the structure that I have seen in mails. Which one is correct ?

What is the point to associate (relate) the embedded image to the text/plain part ?

chmike changed the title ~~Example for alternate html with embed image~~ Is MIME multipart hierarchy correct ?
