my problem is, some binary files attached get recognized as
plain/text, and as a result are coded as quoted-printable. This leads
to corruption of the files, as explained here:
http://lists.horde.org/archives/imp/Week-of-Mon-20060424/045099.html
If I make a binary file like:
dd bs=1024 count=10 </dev/urandom > 10kB
that's full of nonASCII bytes, 'file' says data:
$ file 10kB
10kB: data
If I send a message through IMP with '10kB' attached (browser:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10)
Gecko/2009042708 Fedora/3.0.10-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.10)
it gets attached as plain/text coded as quoted-printable (and gets
corrupted).
What really determines the mime-type? Does IMP accept what the browser
suggests? (If yes, that's a problem of Firefox). Or does IMP look at
the file and may override what the browser suggested? (Then
it's IMP's fault).

Remove file "mimeTypes.rdf" in Firefox's profile folder and restart
Firefox.
Thanks for the tip. A new mimeTypes.rdf appears in the profile after
restarting Firefox. However, the problem still persists, the attachment
gets recognized as plain/text. I really don't understand what's going
on. By the way, uploading by Thunderbird works fine, so it really looks
like it's a Firefox problem. However, the problem persists even if I
copy the mimeTypes.rdf from the Thunderbird profile to the Firefox profile!
Sorry, if this is getting offtopic here, but it is really strange, and
actually my users reported the problem to me, so that's something I need
to solve. And it is still not clear to me what 'Mime type recognition'
does in Horde. What's the purpose of this, if IMP always accepts the
browser's suggestion?
Yours: Laszlo
