Hi, I have the following problem. If I attach a Linux plain text file (ASCII text with LF line terminators), send it and save the attachment from the received mail using IMP 4.3.9, the attachment is saved as as DOS plain text file (ASCII text with CRLF line terminators).
The File is attached as Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; Content-Disposition: attachment; Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit which is correct AFAIK. If I don't misunderstand RFC 2046 4.1.1 the line terminators must be converted to CRLF for the text/plain MIME-Type. I would expect that the file is converted back when it is stored to disk on a Linux system. But I'm not sure if IMP or the browser has to convert the file? The browsers I tried (Firefox 7, Opera 11 and Konqueror 4) did not change the line terminators back to LF. Saving the attachment using Thunderbird 5 or pine, did change the line terminators back to LF, so other mail clients handle this problem correct. Is there a option in IMP or the browsers i did miss?
