Quoting Tornoci Laszlo <torl...@xenia.sote.hu>:
Hi,
my problem is, some binary files attached get recognized as
plain/text, and as a result are coded as quoted-printable. This
leads to corruption of the files, as explained here:
http://lists.horde.org/archives/imp/Week-of-Mon-20060424/045099.html
If I make a binary file like:
dd bs=1024 count=10 </dev/urandom > 10kB
that's full of nonASCII bytes, 'file' says data:
$ file 10kB
10kB: data
If I send a message through IMP with '10kB' attached (browser:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10)
Gecko/2009042708 Fedora/3.0.10-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.10)
it gets attached as plain/text coded as quoted-printable (and gets
corrupted).
What really determines the mime-type? Does IMP accept what the
browser suggests? (If yes, that's a problem of Firefox). Or does IMP
look at the file and may override what the browser suggested? (Then
it's IMP's fault).
IMP sets the MIME type to whatever the browser reports (i.e. the former).
