Answer 1

By wrapper, I mean you would create a database procedure that you call from Forms. This procedure would accept a VARCHAR2 parameter for the MIME-TYPE rather than a reference to the Package Variable. Something along the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MY_MAIL (
               p_from VARCHAR2,
               p_recipient VARCHAR2,
               p_cc VARCHAR2,
               p_bcc VARCHAR2,
               p_subject VARCHAR2,
               p_body VARCHAR2,
               p_file_name VARCHAR2,
               p_file_type VARCHAR2, etc)
AS
    v_mime_type     VARCHAR2;
    myConn          utl_smtp.connection;               
BEGIN
   IF p_file_type = 'BINARY' THEN   /* You could actually define PDF, DOC, etc here if you wanted to */
      v_mime_type := demo_mail.MULTIPART_MIME_TYPE;
   ELSE
      v_mime_type := 'text/plain';
   END IF;
   myConn := demo_mail.begin_mail( sender => p_from,
                                             recipients => p_recipient,
                                             subject => p_subject,
                                             mime_type => v_mime_type);
   /* Now call the other DEMO_MAIL Procedures or Functions to attach your
      file, etc...*/
END;Obviously, this code snippet will not compile. It is simply to give you a starting place for your code. :-)
Hope this helps.
