As someone else asked, can this be turned off?
I don't get the individual mails, just the digest, so I have yet to see that question, but the problem is that I think it would need to be on the sender's shoulders to do it right.
I get a lot of my work as file attachments, and I hate when Emailer sometimes shows text files inline (don't know why that occasionally happens). It adds line feeds to every line, can cause trouble with accents, doesn't show me the file name, and in general,causes me more work. Plus they are often very long.
Here's 2 samples (from the same message w/ 3 pdfs attached) from the message source:
This one would display in the message body:
--------------5CEE804317747AC1AB68B37F
Content-Type: application/pdf; x-mac-type="50444620"; x-mac-creator="4341524F";
name="ADSL Subform 2003.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: Unknown Document
Content-Disposition: inline; <---------Note the "inline"
filename="ADSL Subform 2003.pdf"
This would not:
--------------5CEE804317747AC1AB68B37F
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4341524F";
name="144K_192K.PDF"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: Unknown Document
Content-Disposition: attachment; <---------Note "attachment"
filename="144K_192K.PDF"
I think to some degree it might have to do w/ the way they attached the file.
Most of the pdfs I receive are multimegabyte - who wants that in an e-mail msg?
That would be nasty. Though in OSX it's not as bad as it could be since the whole display engine is geared around pdf.
