Hi list,
I was playing around with makemime and sending me a PDF file using
makemime -c auto -a "To: pos" test.pdf|sendmail
Looking at the message in SQWebmail shows the contents of the binary PDF
file. ie. the start of the file with %PDF etc. (The mime type says
application/octet-stream)
Looking at the message from Outlook shows an empty message plus the
attachment, except the name is now ATT0058.DAT
Same happens if I change the type to -c application/pdf.
What am I missing here?
makemime only adds the bare minimum set of MIME headers. In most cases,
other headers are required. From the makemime man page:
makemime does not generate any other headers. Particu
larly, the "Mime-Version:" header is required for MIME-
formatted E-mail messages. Additional headers are speci
fied by the -a option, which may be used multiple times to
insert multiple headers. makemime doesn't do anything
with them except to insert the headers into the generated
MIME section.
You probably need to also add the Content-Disposition: and/or Content-Name:
headers.
