Details

Handling of attachments in mime needs to be rewritten. The code is patchy at best and badly needs an overhaul.
I spoke a while ago about this issue and the current limitation of the implementation. Currently, the only information we pass between mime and msgcompose is a list of attachment urls. The problem is that we lost information like the content type and the real file name. The solution would be to pass an array of object in which we can store all the information we need/have about an attachment. That will solve problem with invalid temp file name, wrong attachment content type.
