hello Mark. thank you for your help.
what's you mean "using a standard MIME type" ?
do you mean should I change my file extension to some well-known one
(ex: txt, jpg..) ?
I don't know how mail client decide mime type of attached file. and I
tried to change my extension to a some well-known one. (.pdf)
but the situation is same as follow
--------------------------------
01-28 22:50:28.518: INFO/ActivityManager(59): Starting activity:
Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://
com.android.email.attachmentprovider/1/9/RAW flg=0x80001 }
--------------------------------
so please tell me how can I use standard mime type.
my custom file is a base64-encoded text. and its content is some SEED-
encrypted html file.
so I use ".smail" extension on my file.
