# Method MIME.Message()->cast()

Method cast

  `string cast(string dest_type)`

Description

  Casting the message object to a string will yield a byte stream suitable for transmitting the message over protocols such as ESMTP and NNTP.

  The body will be encoded using the current transfer encoding, and subparts of a multipart will be collected recursively. If the message is a multipart and no boundary string has been set, one will be generated using generate_boundary() .
