When sup opens an attachment, it copies the attachment to /tmp/sup-attachment-ID and then calls run-mailcap. But sup knows what name the file was attached as. Could sup save the attachment to /tmp/filename? Or at least append the extension? Although my preference would be to use the fullname which is presumably what the file is named on the originating machine. Often I'll open an attachment first and if I like it, then I'll save it using whichever viewer it's in (e.g. someone sends me an MS Word, I open it in word, and then save it through word). I then get a dialog about how to save it which has as a starting point the current path which is /tmp/sup-attachment-ID which I'll always have to change. But if it was the original attached name, I'd probably often be happy and would prefer to keep that name. By the way, sup works so well that I've now imported my old school emails which I'd previously given up on. I now have blazing fast search over my last ten years of email! _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
