Mime_Mail: calling headers() before get()?

on this documentation page showing sample usage of the Mail_Mime class: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail-mime.example.php the example seems pretty clear what you shouldn't do: ... //do not ever try to call these lines in reverse order $body = $mime->get(); $hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs); ... however, if you read the actual class code, you read: function &headers($xtra_headers = null, $overwrite = false, $skip_content = false) { // Add mime version header $headers['MIME-Version'] = '1.0'; // Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers should already // be present if get() was called, but we'll re-set them to make sure // we got them when called before get() or something in the message // has been changed after get() [#14780] so that comment seems to be a little more forgiving and suggests that you *can* call headers() before get(), but only if done carefully and under certain circumstances. perhaps this ordering issue could be explained more clearly. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
