Gordon, some Apple Mail.app users have told me that they can still see the images if they rename the suffix. I suppose they have to guess what the format is, though.

Content-Type: image/png; name="foo.png" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="foo.png" Similarly, *inline* png images attach fine when using Thunderbird's native file picker. Content-Type: image/png; name="foo.png" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: <part1.random_numb...@foobar.com> Content-Disposition: inline; filename="foo.png" However, when I attach them inline by *dragging* from the file browser into the body, they are attached with the incorrect mime type as Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: <part1.00030206.09040...@foobar.com> The latter displays fine for the recipient if they are using Thunderbird, or via the gmail web interface. However, OSX Mail.app users only see a text file <Mail Attachment.txt> full of nonsense. Kmail also fails to display the image correctly. It seems that Thunderbird is using the wrong mime type when png images are attached inline. (I also see a similar problem with .jpg files.) I see the same problem whether dragging from Dolphin file browser, Konqueror, Krusader, Firefox (via the browser window itself), and Kate's file picker. With Firefox, I entered the file path into the url bar, and dragged from the main browser window. I also attempted to install Nautilus, but I can't even drag from it (with KDE). I've also tried dragging from Firefox's browser window in Xubuntu, which had the same problem. I tried safe mode, and this didn't fix it. Finally, installing Thunderbird directly from the website *does* fix the problem so it's a problem introduced in the Ubuntu package.
