Hi,
I have here an example how an attachment looks in the mailbox file:
--fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7
Content-Type: application/pdf
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="RechnungFink.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
JVBERi0xLjQKMSAwIG9iago8PC9UeXBlIC9YT2JqZWN0IC9TdWJ0eXBlIC9JbWFnZQovTmFt
ZSAvSkkxT2JqMQovV2lkdGggMTE2OSAvSGVpZ2h0IDgyNwovQml0c1BlckNvbXBvbmVudCA4
Ci9Db2xvclNwYWNlIC9EZXZpY2VSR0IKL0ZpbHRlciBbIC9GbGF0ZURlY29kZSAvRENURGVj
...
I understand that 'Content-Transfer-Encoding' must be correct, just to
be able to understand the following lines and decode them to something
usefull; but why must 'Content-Type' be used to save the file to disk:
this should only be used to get an idea how to deal (view) the file;
