No, this is indeed a "feature" of Apple Mail (seen for example with
version 2.3445.102.3, but also many times before).
I have set preferences for text (over html). In such cases this is
what I will see:
------
(multipart/signed)
1. (multipart/alternative)
There are alternative views of the following: (Invoke menu with right button.)
------
(text/plain)
Message text.
------
There are no hints about attachments.
Only if I follow the hint "Invoke menu with right button." I will
get a menu:
Decode part as MIME
Save a multipart/alternative...
Print a multipart/alternative as text...
Show alternative 1: text/plain
Show alternative 2: multipart/mixed
Selecting alternative 2 will then show all parts, in the example
here:
------
(multipart/signed)
1. (multipart/alternative)
There are alternative views of the following: (Invoke menu with right button.)
------
(multipart/mixed)
1.2.1. (text/html)
View HTML contents with netscape
. . . (Invoke menu with right button.)
------
1.2.2. <filename>.pdf (application/pdf)
Open a application/pdf... Save...
1.2.3. (text/html)
View HTML contents with netscape
. . . (Invoke menu with right button.)
------
1.2.4. <other filename>.pdf (application/pdf)
Open a application/pdf... Save...
------
1.2.5. (text/html)
View HTML contents with netscape
. . . (Invoke menu with right button.)
------
2. smime.p7s (application/pkcs7-signature)
This is a application/pkcs7-signature
name = smime.p7s
disposition = attachment
filename = smime.p7s
------
Now I have access to all thecomponents of the mail.
When you expect an attachment, then this is not a big deal; however,
the problem is that it's easy to miss important information if you
don't expect it, as it comes indeed invisible in the default
display.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
