------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-04-01 14:16 ------- Grumble. The subtypes for Content-Type: text/subtype are registered with the IANA, so it would be possible to find what is known and what is unknown. However, anything beginning with "x-" does not have to be registered, for example x-vcard amd x-aol. Furthermore, what is important is which ones are recognized by MUAs. For example, the subtypes x-vcard, and calendar are both recognized by ThunderBird as types that are not displayed as message text, so they are invisible. x-aol is not recognized, so it is displayed as the default text/plain. richtext is recognized and is displayed as RTF, which makes it visible even if the part actually contains plain text. The Antivirus plugin depends on Util returning the actual type and subtype, and we may in the future want to recognize, for example, richtext, the way we recognize html, so it would not be correct to simply convert an unrecognized subtype into plain. I think that the correct fix is to turn "text .*" into "text/plain" but we have to find out where elsewhere unknown subtypes are being ignored for body rule scanning and have it instead do whatever it already does for html, ignore x-vcard and calendar like it does now, but otherwise treat unknown subtypes as plain. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
