reporter can you give an example? What kind of encoding is it using?

Attachment: email that the reporter sent to me

Comment 4

Judging from the email the reporter sent to me I'd say he/she is asking for
postcript file sniffing.
I see this:
Content-Type: text/plain;

as the MIME type given for the postscript file. So this is invalid? What is the
MIME type for postscript btw?

I can reproduce this bug easily with 2001-09-08-21 on Linux.
Steps to reproduce:

1) Send the below attached postscript file to yourself as an e-mail.
2) Fetch the mail and click on it once.

Result: The raw postscript file is shown in the e-mail itself.
Result: The postscript file should only be shown in the attachement pane.

Below I will attach the postscript file I used to test this as well as a
screenshot of how it looks.
