Daniel Gustafsson 2df67e93c3 docs: clarify data replacement policy for MIME API
The API documentation for the MIME functions specify that the parts
can be set twice, with the last call winning.  While true, the user
can set the parts n times for n > 2, reword to specify multiple API
calls instead.

Closes: #8860

.TH curl_mime_subparts 3 "22 August 2017" "libcurl 7.56.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_mime_subparts - set subparts of a multipart mime part
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_mime_subparts(curl_mimepart *part, curl_mime *subparts);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIcurl_mime_subparts(3)\fP sets a multipart mime part's content from a mime
structure.
\fIpart\fP is a handle to the multipart part.
\fIsubparts\fP is a mime structure handle holding the subparts. After
\fIcurl_mime_subparts\fP succeeds, the mime structure handle belongs to the
multipart part and must not be freed explicitly. It may however be updated by
subsequent calls to mime API functions.
Setting a part's contents multiple times is valid: only the value set by the
last call is retained. It is possible to unassign previous part's contents by
setting \fIsubparts\fP to NULL.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
/* The inline part is an alternative proposing the html and the text
versions of the email. */
alt = curl_mime_init(curl);
/* HTML message. */
part = curl_mime_addpart(alt);
curl_mime_data(part, inline_html, CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
curl_mime_type(part, "text/html");
/* Text message. */
part = curl_mime_addpart(alt);
curl_mime_data(part, inline_text, CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
/* Create the inline part. */
part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);
curl_mime_subparts(part, alt);
curl_mime_type(part, "multipart/alternative");
slist = curl_slist_append(NULL, "Content-Disposition: inline");
curl_mime_headers(part, slist, 1);
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
