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. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

Let's see: > > http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-talk/2009-q4/msg00036.html 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 -- (*) - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4498 (**) - Just because something goes without saying, doesn't mean folk will actually do it when the time comes. So I said it anyway. Not that that generally makes a lot of difference ... :-) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
