Hello folks,
Does anyone know why some emails from the list are blank, with the text of
the message in an attachment?
Because the mail reader is too dumb to do something sensible with
(MIME) multipart types it doesn't recognize. This mail will probably
have the mentioned problem, because I digitally sign my mails which
results in a content-type of multipart-signed with my (textual) reply
as first part and the signature as second one.
The sensible thing to do for the mailer would be to simply try it's
best and treat unknown multipart types like multipart-mixed and simply
display the text/plain content (and put the signature, which is not
text/plain, as an attachment).
Btw, multipart-signed is standartized for over 10 years or so,
i.e. it's not that this is about supporting bleeding-edge stuff.
Right now i am using lookout express, so if that's the problem, it'll be
fixxed as soon as i get my installation done...
Jupp. It's the problem and you will fix it that way. ;-)
HTH,
Benjamin.
