Example 3: Outgoing MIME Content as Markdown

Let's say you want to retrieve the following MIME content as Markdown:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
        boundary="XXXXboundary text"

This is a multipart message in MIME format.

--XXXXboundary text
Content-Type: text/html

<h1>this is the html text</h1>

--XXXXboundary text
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Disposition: attachment;
        filename="test.txt"

this is the attachment text

--XXXXboundary text--

Set the value of richTextAs query parameter to markdown, and retrieve the document that contains it.

You should get the following in the richtext field response:

{
  "type": "text/markdown",
  "encoding": "PLAIN",
  "content": "this is the html text\n=====================\n\n"
}

Note

Since there's no text/markdown part in the stored multipart MIME, it falls back to finding a text/html part, converting it to Markdown, and then returning it as a response.
