i've intentionally removed any rules for mhshow'ing text/html from mhn.defaults, in order to force use of the text part.
it seems that Apple Mail, in all its interoperable wisdom, often puts attachments inside the html part of a multi-part message. the problem is that if one reads just the text part, there's no attachment to be had. if the sender doesn't mention that there is one, then it's easy to miss entirely. (of course, if you know it's there, then a tool like munpack will find it nicely.) is there a way using mh tools to at least detect that there's more to the non-text part that might be interesting? paul a sample message outline looks like this: ----cut here------------------------------------------------------- From: [email protected] Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="Apple-Mail=_75B369C8-DE4F-45FE-8D0D-B5E25DEEC1B1" Subject: party 12/16 Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 12:06:34 -0500 Message-Id: <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v1283) X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.1283) --Apple-Mail=_75B369C8-DE4F-45FE-8D0D-B5E25DEEC1B1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii ...text part elided... --Apple-Mail=_75B369C8-DE4F-45FE-8D0D-B5E25DEEC1B1 Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/html"; boundary="Apple-Mail=_E9699EEA-5429-4D19-8E74-2BF8F3CCBE78" --Apple-Mail=_E9699EEA-5429-4D19-8E74-2BF8F3CCBE78 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii ...html part elided... --Apple-Mail=_E9699EEA-5429-4D19-8E74-2BF8F3CCBE78 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Party invite '12.jpeg" Content-Type: image/jpeg; x-unix-mode=0644; name="Party invite '12.jpeg" Content-Id: <[email protected].> ...encoded jpeg attachment elided... --Apple-Mail=_E9699EEA-5429-4D19-8E74-2BF8F3CCBE78-- --Apple-Mail=_75B369C8-DE4F-45FE-8D0D-B5E25DEEC1B1-- ----cut here------------------------------------------------------- =--------------------- paul fox, [email protected] (arlington, ma, where it's 47.7 degrees) _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
