Hello Steffen,
I hope that you have not been hit by fires and floods.
Rogue email messages seem a rather trivial worry in comparison. But I
have received one, with structure
Content-Type: multipart/related
Content-Type: multipart/alternative
Content-Type text/html (the actual message)
Content-Type: image/png (Corporate logo)
Content-Type: text/plain (Corporate signature)
If I 'type' it (s-nail v14.9.21), I see
---------------------------
[-- #1.1 323/20957 multipart/related --]
[-- #1.1.1 147/8110 multipart/alternative --]
[-- #1.1.1.1 141/7930 text/html, 7bit, utf-8 --]
[-- #1.1.2 169/12627 +image/jpeg, base64, us-ascii --]
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="logo.jpg"
[-- No MIME handler installed, or not applicable --]
[-- #1.2 8/255 text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii --]
[-- <signature> --]
Content-Disposition: inline
<Content of signature>
-------------------------------
The html-tag-soup feature is present, but the html message content is
not displayed, either with or without pipe-text/html set. If I call
mimeview, s-nail offers to display the logo and does so correctly, but
it doesn't offer to display the html. I can get the html displayed with
& w /dev/null
# All file names need to be sh(1)ell-style quoted, everywhere
Enter filename for part 1.1.1.1 (text/html): "|lynx -stdin -dump -force_html"
but shouldn't it either count as the message body, and get displayed by
'type' in the first place, or as an attachment that mimeview offers to
display?
If you are wondering what sort of mailer produces multipart alternatives
with only one part, the message ID mentions JavaMail.urm@bat01.
Unfortunately I have no control over the mailers that large
organizations use for sending me mail.
Best regards,
Stephen Isard
