[Evolution] attachment.dat: pptx showing as plain text attachment
My wife sent me a power point file from her Mac using Mac mail but it came through to Evo 3.8.5 on Fedora 19 as a plain text attachment called attachment.dat that Evo wanted to open in gedit. What's happening here? On line I find discussion of things arriving at .dat files from Windows operating systems, but why would this happen from Mac Lion using the default Mac mail system? It doesn't happen when she sends the same attachment to my Win 7 box. And she's sent me Word and PowerPoint files in the past without this problem.

What's happening here? Hi, hard to tell. Could you show a message source (View-Message Source/Ctrl +U in evolution) and search for the Content-Type headers (line begins with it), and paste here all you'll see there, with surrounding couple lines, please? As an example: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=err Content-Type: text/plain; name=err; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Also, how do you receive the message, is it through POP3, IMAP, ...?
