User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Build ID: 20130307023931
Steps to reproduce:
Sent a mail with a PDF attachment.
TB v17.0.4 on Linux sends PDF attachments as application/x-msdownload and not as application/pdf. Thus many messages are filtered out by receiving servers.
See also report: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1949353
Actual results:
The attachment was sent with MIME type: application/x-msdownload
Expected results:
The attachment should have been sent with MIME type: application/pdf
Quote from that thread: "I have found the solution. The "attachments" section in the options had two entries for PDF, and one was for application/x-msdownload. Deleting this entry solved the problem. Apparently these options control how attachments are sent as well as how they are handled when received."
