Details

Steps to reproduce: 1. Compose a message 2. Attach a .csv file to the message 3. Send 4. Check the source of the sent message Actual results: "Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel" Expected results: "Content-type: text/csv" (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180#section-4) Note: I am using a Windows 7 PC with MS Excel 2007 installed. In my case, CSV files do open with Excel, but that should not be assumed for my correspondents.
