Re: [Evolution] Some attachments don't show up in evolution.
My original post to this thread referenced the example on the Ximian users list. I didn't want to forward a virus to this list. I think the answer I'm getting is that there are changes being made to evolution that may fix this in a future version (?)

That multipart/related fix didn't make it into stable afaik either.

Re: [Evolution] Some attachments don't show up in evolution.
In the example you gave the only thing that is supposed to be showing up is a 0x0 inline frame (an iframe). Trust me it is showing up. The part that claims it is wave file is referenced by the iframe so evolution doesn't show a save widget for that part, this is same way it treats inline images. This is a very reasonable way to interpret this intentionally broken message. One way I can think of that might improve the situation is to check the mime type of the part and compare it to the mime type that gtkhtml requests on that stream, see the difference and add the the save part widget since it doesn't match. On the other hand I'm not sure if it is really worth the effort. --Larry On Fri, 2002-04-26 at 09:27, John Weber wrote: My original post to this thread referenced the example on the Ximian users list.

It could be related though. a multipart/related base part that doesn't reference the parts that follow. Without seeing the mail I cant' really say though.

Re: [Evolution] Some attachments don't show up in evolution.
Well, I guess 0x0 IS hard to see :) I'm trying to understand why pine can see these attachments OK. Not that it matters much, but I get curious. FYI pine list these attachments as (possibly from a different virus email than the one I mentioned)... 1 ~4 lines Text/HTML 2 98 KB Audio/X-WAV 3 0 lines Text/PLAIN 48.8 KB Application/OCTET-STREAM (Name: WATERMRK.JPG) While evolution tells me nothing (unless I read the source). Thanks for the info and I'm not too worried about it. Is there a stand alone utility to decode/save these if I were to save the attachment segments from the message source?
