--- Comment #11 from Anselm Lingnau <anselm+...@anselms.net> ---
That's nice but is not what the current Exif standard document says. As long as
we don't have an actual standards-level document that says that the APP1
section doesn't have to come immediately after the SOI, the libjpeg-turbo
people are unlikely to budge (and they're technically correct, which as we all
know is the best kind of correct). They are opposed to the “robustness
principle”, which the idea of deliberately writing a file that doesn't conform
to the standard in order to accommodate “old JFIF readers” is all about, and it
is not an unreasonable position to take if you're a purist rather than a
pragmatist, and believe that bugs should be fixed in the software that actually
has the bug, rather than worked around elsewhere.

In any case you should fix the broken Exif orientation marker in the exported
attachment image files, because that's wrong no matter what the situation is
about APP0 and APP1, and it bites especially those people with software that
DOES look for APP1 in places other than immediately after the SOI. Getting that
right would solve much of the original problem already.
