Dear all:
In testing v2a23, we received a message from someone using Lotus Notes as a
MTA and/or MUA. There was a JPEG file attached, and when I viewed it with
my MUA (Outlook98), it was properly decoded, and I was able to launch my
image viewer to see it.
However, in the archive, it was an "application/octet-stream attachment"
and given a name ending in ".jpg_" My browser shows this as something less
interesting than an image.
With the particular settings for this archive, it should have been brought
in-line, actually.
Unfortunately, I don't have the original message to see exactly what it
looked like - presumably the JPEG attachment *was* encoded as an octet
stream. (Different than base64, I presume?)
My question is: should hypermail have been able to process this?
I will try to preserve another sample message before it's processed into
the archive, but maybe someone can recognize the issue from these clues.
Thanks,
