I have to look into this. Not sure I understand what you’re asking. If I don’t set it or if I set it to undef, it ends up taking the default value: [philipp@builder ~]$ cat /tmp/foo.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use MIME::Entity; my $msg = MIME::Entity->build( Top => 0, Disposition => undef, Type => 'text/plain', Encoding => undef, Data => [ "Some random MIME part.\n", ], ); print $msg->as_string(); [philipp@builder ~]$ /tmp/foo.pl Content-Type: text/plain Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Some random MIME part. [philipp@builder ~]$ There only way to get the header be omitted altogether is via: [philipp@builder ~]$ diff -u /tmp/foo.pl /tmp/bar.pl --- /tmp/foo.pl 2013-11-18 22:58:48.499520090 -0700 +++ /tmp/bar.pl 2013-11-18 22:59:03.651240761 -0700 @@ -15,4 +15,7 @@ ], ); +$msg->head()->delete('Content-Disposition'); +$msg->head()->delete('Content-Transfer-Encoding'); + print $msg->as_string(); [philipp@builder ~]$ /tmp/bar.pl Content-Type: text/plain Some random MIME part.

Can we start from the premises that (a) you’ll most likely only ever want the 0th (first) instance, or top-most, Received: line because that’s the only one you trust anyway, and that (b) if it’s being called from inside MIMEDefang, then the system is locally running either Postfix or Sendmail, and both have very predictable Received: formats (assuming no one has mucked with HReceived: in their sendmail.cf file)… -Philip _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
