143208 - Attaches text files as inline - bad behavior

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65794

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, enhancement)

Description

[Piotr Legiecki]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417
BuildID:    2002041711

When I attach text file mozilla makes it 'inline' type. It makes it sometimes
difficult to open/save such inline attachment. First of all www mail readers (as
IMP) treats such an email as one big mail and displays all email content in
browser window. Second, some companies requires to send them files as 'real'
file attachments not inline.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose new mail
2. Attach text file
3. Send it

Actual Results:  File is attached as inline

Expected Results:  I whish to attach it rather as regular binary files are
attached, or to have choice: inline or not.

This is not a DUP of bug #80632. It is not about _displaying_ inlines, but about
the way we attach text files, which always end up as inlines, although it is not
always desirable.
