Re: Bouncing a message with an attachment
Nope, this is just by me pressing b to bounce the message. The only thing I can think of is that it is being displayed inline via antiword. If that is the case, is it either one or the other then? i.e. Being able to bounce attachments properly and not have them displayed inline, or not being able to bounce messages correctly and have them displayed inline.

No, (b)ouncing a message resends a message in its entirety with just the addition of a single 'Resent-From:' header (which irritatingly isn't affected by send-hooks) - I'm sure this isn't your problem. I suspect that some mail-server is screwing-up the message headers after you bounce it, it wouldn't be the first. Another possibility is the original email had messed-up headers in the first place, it wasn't sent from 'Entourage' was it? -- Bruno http://bruno.postle.net/

Bouncing a message with an attachment
If I bounce a message that has (For example) a .doc attachment, the receipient gets all the headers and .doc is inline with the message and totally garbled. What are the correct muttrc parameters for this. Ones I have that may apply are: set mime_forward_rest = yes set message_format = %s set mime_forward=ask-no unset mime_forward_decode set rfc2047_parameters = no I've read the list archives on forwarding a message with attachments but these don't seem to apply to bouncing.

I do not believe any parameters apply. If you bounce a message, the entire thing gets sent - you cannot have only pieces of it go. If the recipient cannot understand MIME email, that's another problem all together. If you bounce a message that has a .doc attachment, the recipient gets a message with a .doc attachment.

This is the same result I get. I actually used bounce before I discovered the mime_forward et al settings to pass along attachments. -- David Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] msg20621/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
