Not much. The archive still displays it inline. (Probably looks ok in
people's email clients though.)
Must be the content-type being recognizable if it's not the encoding then.
That means editing t'birds' mime database looks necessary. Hmm..

Ta-daaa indeed, but it occurs to me I can probably even remove the
mail.file_attach_binary setting now that I've not got a bogus mime type being
specified. Let's see:

Once you get it working to your desires, would you mind posting the magic
formula somewhere in the cygwin web pages, probably near where we talk
about TOFU and other mailing list faux pas? Also, is the magic based
solely on file extension? I'm always annoyed that T-bird seems to think
that .patch must be sent binary, but .patch1 is text.

Ok, that worked. Here's the recipe, for Eric, and Fergus, and The Record:
#1. Set mail.content_disposition_type to 1. Necessary to get the correct
Content-Disposition: header, but not sufficient.
#2. Get MIME types database under control. I used an extension called
MimeEDIT(*), but it only works on series 2 Tbird. OTOH the database is stored
in a plain-text xml format in a file called mimeTypes.rdf in your T'bird
profile directory, and it looks easy enough to manually edit. Whichever
method you choose, BACK IT UP FIRST!(**)
T'bird will select a mime Content-Type: header for your attachment based on
the fileExtension settings listed in here; in my case, the extension .out had
become associated with message/news somehow, and the archive displays
message/* attachments inline even if the content-disposition says not to.
Some sources recommend simply deleting mimeTypes.rdf wholesale, but I chose
just to tweak the content so that it now thinks .msg is the extension for
message/news. YMMV (Your Mimetypes.rdf May Vary), but as long as it's not
choosing a bogus mime type based on your file extension, you'll get a default
of text/plain, which the archive won't expand inline.
cheers,
DaveK
