hi all (again) my initial question was:
"custom mime precedence?" I was asking if I can let the text/html part of a multipart(/alternative) message pass through when when preceded by the text/plain part AND followed by something like an application/pdf part, but keep the pdf in the server (not filtered-out; kept in the archive for http download) The (1st) answer I got seems I was misunderstood (but thanks anyway Terri). I was advised to see the 'pass_mime_types' variable (to include text/html) -BUT- I have the 'scrub_nondigest' set to true, so (simple) filtering is of no help (nor desired; I don't want the pdf (or any base64 part) phased out, I just want it stay in the archive area with a link leading to it in the delivered mail) My first impression is that this cannot be done, at least with the 2.1.6 version I use. Is this true? Can this be solved If I upgrade the version? Again, any suggestion will be of great help! (as always!) p.s. here is the initial question: > This is the situation: attachments are stripped > (which is as I intended), but many messages > come in as multipart, with 1st part as text/plain > and second one as text/html. The senders, intended > to send the 2nd one (formatted to draw attention > in specific parts), but, being treated as > attachment, stays at the server. > > Is there a way around?
