I was looking at the difference between mutt's attachments and some
from other mail clients and there was one I got sometime and looking
at the header of the attachment says:
[-- Type: application/msword, Encoding: base64, Size: 16K --]
Content-Type: application/msword; name="Schedule.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Schedule.doc"
and one of my recently mailed mutt mails shows this:
[-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 3.2K --]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Description: send.c.diff
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="send.c.diff"
As you can see there is no `name' field in mutt's attachment and the
other one has it and it's content is the same as in the `filename'
field. Maybe dtmail looks for a `name' field to find the attachment's
name (maybe some other clients too) and does simply ignore the
`filename' field.
Is the `name' field necessary for attachments and it is a "bug" in mutt not
to add it or should the `filename' field be enough and it is a "bug" in
dtmail not to recognize it? (That seems to be the question here.)
