142565 - attachments are inlined and they shouldn't be

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65794

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect)

Description

[Ian Elverson]

Wehn you attach a file to an email generated by the Mozilla mail client, the 
Content-Disposition is set to 'inline'.  It should be set to 'attachment'.  
This can confuse some mail servers and clients.  I have included the header of 
a test message to give you an example...

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline;

This problem is fixed in Netscape 6.x, but it exists in 4.7x, so I would assume 
the Mozilla codebase came from Netscape 4.x.
