Last flowers of summer: Cistus [1/1]
In article , Wolf K
writes Exactly, the header for the message says "mime", but the header for the jpg file says "uuencoded by..." That mismatch between header and segment is what causes the problem. I'll file a bug report, maybe someone in the TB group will notice. Have a good day, wolf k. Wolf, what does Thunderbird do that indicates it's expecting a MIME attachment? Does it give any information other than failing to decode? And am I right in assuming you can decode Joevan's and Pat's pictures? -- Sue ] |

Joevan's and Pat's pictures decode correctly. I see an image in the message pane, and also as an attachment (the file name displays in the attachment bar). In this case, your pictures did not show as attachments. Tbird obviously believes the message header (which identifies the encoding as mime), and not the file header (which identifies it as uuencoded). So it doesn't even try to decode the image file. Don't worry about it, Sue, I'm quite willing to do the Save As then Open thing. TBird cannot combine multi-part files, which is occasionally an issue. It's also unreliable when decoding yEnc encoded messages, which doesn't bother me. Have a good day, Wolf K. |
