265658 - Eudora and Mac OSX Mail.app users can't see text attachment as attachment

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 66915

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect)

Description

[Michael Baffoni]

When I send an attached text file in and email to Mac Eudora and Mac OSX
Mail.app users, they only see the email as part of the message body, they don't
see it as an attachment.  They see it properly if they send the same attachment
to themselves or to each other (OSX Mail and Eudora reach each others the same
way).  I see my own text attachment as an attachment if I send it to myself, or
if they send it to me.

The only thing I can see different in the way that the MIME attachment is
constructed is that in the Eudora/Mail app MIME construction, they declare the
attachment like this:

Content-Type: text/plain; name="texttest.txt"; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="texttest.txt"
 ; modification-date="Wed, 20 Oct 2004 17:08:56 -0700"

and Mozilla declares it like this:

Content-Type: text/plain;
 name="test.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline;
 filename="test.txt"

Since Mozilla can properly see the attachment in the body if it is set to view
inline, is there anyway that we can set attachments to "attachment;" rather than
"inline'" by default (or is there some other issue here)?
