Like David already said, you don't need to put anything in your .mh_profile now (unless you haven't upgraded to 1.5 because you're a lame-o :-) ). >Ken - Do you have some specific reason for generating >"Content-Disposition: attachment"? I never done that and nobody's ever >complained, not that that means a whole lot, I suppose. Well, it was a few years ago, but I had a case where an unspecified Windows email client would take the MIME type from the filename extension in the Content-Disposition header rather from the actual MIME type. At least, that's sure what seemed to be happening; getting some useful feedback from my correspondent was difficult (it all came out as "it didn't read it as a PowerPoint file"); I think I manually added a Content-Disposition header and then things worked. I would phrase the question as, "Can you think of a reason to NOT generate a Content-Disposition header?" It seems like it's pretty standard to generate it nowadays. In nmh 1.5 we defaulted to -attachformat 1 and that generates a Content-Disposition header; part of me thinks that we should do that for mhbuild directives, but that would be a feature change and I think that mhbuild directives are for people who want exact control over their MIME content. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
