I also had this same problem. Because I'm using procmail to filter my messages I can apply a perl script to every message that contains an attach with Content-Type= application/octet-stream and replace it for the correct one. For now I'm just parsing the file extension, not any file content header as I'm supposed to, but it works for me. Here goes an example of the reg-exp: s#^Content-Type: application/octet-stream;((\s)*name=".*\.jpe?g.*")#Content-Type: image/jpeg;$1#mgi Regards, -- Rodrigo Curado
