I have a problem, that Horde doesn't detect *.pdf attachments in
multi part emails.
I first have to go to "show all parts" and then I see the attached
*.pdf as shown in following list.
Alternative
- Text
- Mixed
-- Text
-- 507.pdf
-- Text
The source of the email also says:
----------------
Content-Type: application/pdf; name=507.pdf
Content-Disposition: attachment; size=67383; filename=507.pdf
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
------------------
but Horde won't detect it as attachment.
I use the Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 5.1 (Imp 6.1.2).
Do I have to change some config?
Is this email not RFC conform?
It was most certainly sent by Apple. And it is known they have sent
broken multipart/alternative parts since forever.
That being said, the attachment *should* show up. We will display the
multipart part in this instance if ANY of the sub-parts are visible.
However, both of the text parts under the mixed part are most likely
marked as "attachment" (and/or you have alternative viewing set to
plaintext preferred). PDF's are always treated as an attachment
(there is no way to view them inline natively/cross-browser). Thus,
we fall back to the first text part.
The **entire** purpose of using multipart/alternative is to hide all
the display details from the end user. You absolutely can't hide
"attachments" under an alternative subpart because there is no
guarantee that this part will ever be displayed. In this case, the
PDF is *not* an attachment; it is an alternative way to display text
to the user.

Yes the email was sent by Apple, but I can reproduce the same "fault"
with an email sent through horde webmail.
As example:
In horde I write an email in HTML format. I write my text and then I put
an *.pdf and *.jpg per drag and drop into the email.
The *.jpg is shown as expected, but the *.pdf is only shown as small
unidentifiable symbol.
Receiving this test email I see the *.jpg and the unidentifiable
symbols, but no hint, that there is an *.pdf attatched to this email and
no way to download it.
First I have to klick on "All Parts" to see/download the attached pdf.
That's no good, because users don't want to klick on "All parts" to get
to the *.pdf.
So for me there is a bug, either in not showing the *.pdfs as attachment
or in letting me writing such "wrong formated" email.

Philipp
