Hello, I found what seems to be a bug. Well, it IS a bug. Don't know if it is mutt's or LookOut's.
I received a message from someone using outlook containing an email attached (*.eml). Unfortunately, outlook sends the attachment as "application/octet-stream", so mutt can't really recognize it automatically. Then I open the message in mutt, hit ctrl-e and change the type to "message/rfc822". After opening the message again, it displays its contents normally. Inside this attached message, there is an attached windows media movie (*.wmv). And AGAIN, it shows up wrongly, this time as a "text/plain". And there comes what I think might be a bug in mutt. In the pager, it displays the attachment as: [-- Type: video/x-ms-wmv, Encoding: base64, Size: 1.0M --] [-- video/x-ms-wmv is unsupported (use 'v' to view this part) --] However, hitting "v" to view the message's attachments shows the attachment as: I 3 <no description> [text/plain, 7bit, 1.4M] Apparently, mutt displays the message correctly in the pager display (correct type, correct size). In attachment menu, it shows up encoded (bigger size, text/plain). I tried hitting ctrl-e in attachment menu to change it's type to video/x-ms-wmv, but it stills shows the same (only thing that changes is the text/plain to video/x-ms-wmv, but content is still the same, encoded). I know I can just save it to a file and try to decode it manually using the usual mime tools, but I wanted people to know about it, and enlighten me if this is not a bug in mutt (of course, the brokeness of outlook could do anything!). -- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ UIN: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil |
