While skimming the source code of org-mime I noticed two severe issues with regards to the MIME specifications:
- when creating an attachment for a image org-mime (still) uses the
file extension as MIME media subtype for Gnus messages. This not
in compliance with RFC 2046. As mentioned before org-mime
should/could use the function to determine MIME media type of
message-mode and mime-edit-mode respectively.
For SEMI the function is `mime-find-file-type', called with the
file name as argument and returns a list whose first element is a
string with MIME media type and second element is MIME media
subtype.
- when creating an attachment for a image org-mime uses the path to
the image for the value of the content-id header. This violates
RFC2045, section 7.
The value of the content-iD header field is syntactically
identical to the message-id header.
addr-spec = local-part "@" domain
For SEMI the function for creating a message-id string is
`wl-draft-make-message-id-string' that is called without any
argument and returns a shiny new message-id header field value
/with/ the angle brackets.
Furthermore there are some minor glitches:
- the "filename" parameter is only defined for the
content-disposition header field; because images are attachments
they can/should be easily send with
content-disposition: attachment; filename="<filename>"
For SEMI (replace _ by -):
__[[type/subtype
content-disposition: attachment; filename="<filename>"][base64]]
- org-mime uses `reporter-compose-outgoing' to open a new message
draft. This is not a could solution because (a) org-mine does not
want to send a bug report and (b) would depend on reporter.el
without necessity.
- org-mime /should/ add information to the user-agent mail header
field indicating that the message was created with the help of
org-mime.
