Hallo Thomas,

On Mon, 16 Dec 2002 10:44:39 +0700GMT (16-12-02, 4:44 +0100GMT, where
I live), you wrote:

I don't know. Based on the headers, TB tries to figure out what
attachments to show tabbed. So it depends on the sender describing the
contents.
What TB's sending part is considered. It's difficult for a program to
decide what files are text-based and what not. Even though I
associated *.cfg and *.log with notepad, I'm perfectly aware of the
fact that they don't have to be plain text. So I can't fault TB in
it's behaviour.

TF> But is it correct that TB does not show a tab?

Since the RFC's only tell us what the messages have to look like
during transport, they leave us (and TB) completely free on the
visualization and storage part. So you can't base a bug report on any
RFC. (Only when it's transport related.)
Something else is a bug report because you look upon TB's behaviour
as faulty. You can argue for that in this case, however it may depend
on your starting point. Do you want TB only to shows tabs when you're
absolutely sure it's correct or do you want TB to show as much tabs as
possible?

TB doesn't know the attachments as what they are. TB knows their
extension and what program you associated with it. I've got *.doc
files that are Word-files (in one of the many versions) or plain text.
However TB (and Windows) show them all with Word-icons.

TF> Is this a bug or not?

Depends on your point of view. Can be argued both ways. I think a
feature request would be more honest than a bug report, but
considering your remark in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. We
all make our own choices. ;-)
