12.2.1.1 Deprecated methods</A>
</H3>

<P>

<span class="versionnote">Changed in version 2.4:
The <tt class="method">add_payload()</tt> method was removed; use the
<tt class="method">attach()</tt> method instead.</span>

<P>
The following methods are deprecated.  They are documented here for
completeness.

<P>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><tt id='l2h-3872' xml:id='l2h-3872' class="method">get_type</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var></var><big>[</big><var>failobj</var><big>]</big><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
Return the message's content type, as a string of the form
<span class="mimetype">maintype/subtype</span> as taken from the
<span class="mailheader">Content-Type:</span> header.
The returned string is coerced to lowercase.

<P>
If there is no <span class="mailheader">Content-Type:</span> header in the message,
<var>failobj</var> is returned (defaults to <code>None</code>).

<P>
<div class="versionnote"><b>Deprecated since release 2.2.2.</b>
Use the <tt class="method">get_content_type()</tt> method instead.</div><p></p>
</dl>

<P>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><tt id='l2h-3873' xml:id='l2h-3873' class="method">get_main_type</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var></var><big>[</big><var>failobj</var><big>]</big><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
Return the message's <em>main</em> content type.  This essentially returns the
<var>maintype</var> part of the string returned by <tt class="method">get_type()</tt>, with the
same semantics for <var>failobj</var>.

<P>
<div class="versionnote"><b>Deprecated since release 2.2.2.</b>

  <td><var></var><big>[</big><var>failobj</var><big>]</big><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
Return the message's sub-content type.  This essentially returns the
<var>subtype</var> part of the string returned by <tt class="method">get_type()</tt>, with the
same semantics for <var>failobj</var>.
