725285 - vcard from mac mailer not detected, showed rather as attachment

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 60936

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Darko Veberic]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/10.10 Chromium/17.0.963.26 Chrome/17.0.963.26 Safari/535.11

Steps to reproduce:

receive mail from friends owning macs and using native mailer there.


Actual results:

while vcards from users of thunderbird are ok, the vcards sent from mac osx mailer (?) are in thunderbird/linux shown as attachments.


Expected results:

the vcard should be correctly detected as vcard and shown in a thunderbird-standard way.

Could be related to bug 221991.

I got this from the reporter:

--Apple-Mail=_xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx
Content-Disposition: attachment;
    filename="John.Doe.vcf"
Content-Type: text/directory;
    name="John Doe.vcf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 

The main problem is the "wrong" mime-type. 
This is from  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard

>The standard Internet media type for a vCard (often referred to as its mime type) >is:[1]
>
>    text/vcard
>
>As of version 4.0 specification, other media types known to have been used >previously are now deprecated, including:[1]
>
>    text/x-vcard
>    text/directory;profile=vCard
>    text/directory

this is a dupe of bug 60936
I don't know if this should be fixed given that the mime-type is now depreciated.
