Package: icedove Version: 3.0.5-1 Severity: normal Hello,
some mail software (one seems to be Exchange) seem to be sending PDF attachments as application/octet-stream instead of application/pdf. icedove "correctly" handles that by only offering to save the attachment to disk, even if it correctly displays that the attachment is a "PDF document". It seems to be impossible to open such PDF attachments for icedove. There is no way to override, and if you receive lots of PDF attachments that way every day it is unacceptable to have "save to desktop, open desktop, open document, remove document from desktop" as a workflow. Searching around it looks like there is a "MIME Edit" extension that should implement some override mechanism. However, the add extensions menu in icedove does not find any extensions. "MIME Edit" seems to have disappeared from the thunderbird add-ons page at mozilla and you can find lots of loud complaints about it. There does not seem to be a mime edit extension packaged in Debian. So, stuck. Ideally, icedove could do some file(1) magic to double-check at least octet-stream attachments. That would help immensely here.
