Hello
part of an offending mail
start offending mail
--=====000_Dragon381477005134_=====
Content-Type: image/jpeg;
name="St�r mig inte.jpg"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="St�r mig inte.jpg"
/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQE
end offending mail
So how should the mailclient really do this? Was thinking on giving the
client-developer some feedback.
