Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 168098

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[Eric Meyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I discovered that EXEs that I sent using Moz 1.3 were corrupted if I sent them
directly, but not if I zipped them first.  Viewing the source of the message I
find that the exe was encoded using "quoted-printable" rather than using base64
(binary) encoding. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new message
2. Attach a EXE (any EXE)
3. Save the message
4. View the source



Expected Results:  
Use base64 encoding like it does with other binary files.
