Hello everybody,
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2183#section-2.1
Please see the above RFC about the diffrence between
Content-Disposition: inline and Content-Disposition: attachment
Either the Content-Disposition: should be removed so the MUA can decide
or it should be set to inline so the content can be displayed.
The bellow command generates a almost correct message but only the
Content-Disposition is wrong for the text/plain mime part.
echo -e "$CONTENT" | mail.mailutils -s "organization-advies:
($NAMEWITHHOUSENUMBER)" --content-type=application/pdf --encoding=base64
--content-filename=organization-flyer.pdf
--attach=/root/organization-flyer.pdf -a "BCC:
jelledej...@powercraft.nl" -a "From: organization B.V.
<i...@organization.com>" "$EMAIL" --encoding=8bit
--content-type=text/plain --skip-empty-attachments
Is there a way to set the Content-Disposition or is there a way to feed
the message through sed and replace the Content-Disposition string and
then sent out the message?
Kind regards,
Jelle de Jong

Hello everybody,
How do I generate an attachment with the following properties:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8;
Content-Disposition: inline;
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
So without name="" added to Content-Type or filename="" to
Content-Disposition?
I am struggling to generate a plain/text mail with an attachment that do
not have the Content-Disposition: or have Content-Disposition: inline;
This is either a regression or I am missing something.
Kind regards,

Hello everybody,
When trying the following it uses Content-Disposition: attachment
instead of Content-Disposition: inline for the text/plain.
echo -e "$CONTENT" | mail.mailutils -s "organization-advies:

I tried setting -a "Content-Disposition: inline" or
--content-filename=inline but both are not accepted as options.
I can not get the plain/text to show inline in the message, now it
will show as an attached part file and the body is empty in
thunderbird and roundcube.
I am trying to solve this quickly as the automation is not working any
more and I don't seem to be able to downgrade mail.mailutils to
stretch or upgrade to bullseye without creating a mess with loads of
package dependencies.
Kind regards,
Jelle de Jong

Hello everybody,
I upgraded Debian squeeze to buster and changed our mailutils version
and the mailing scripts I have for some automation stopped working.
I can not get Content-Disposition set to inline for the text/plain part.
I want to have an mail with a plain/text message shown inline (not as
attachment) and an PDF file as attachment.
We are using Mozilla Thunderbird 78.11.0-1~deb10u1 as mail client for
showing the messages.
The first example is what I used to have that used to work, but it
does not show the text any-more because it sets the
Content-Disposition to attachment.. for the plain/text.
