Sending attachments not working (MIME/file types)

[jharris3434]

RC 0.1 Stable, PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 5, hMailServer, and IIS6 on W2K3 server. Using Firefox 2.0.0.12
----------------------------

I should note first that RC is handling attachments sent with other mail clients perfectly.

When I upload/send attachments with RC, however, RC isn't handling them properly at all. I have set the attachment and memory limits up, I've made sure the temp directory has the proper permissions. Most of the time the attachment does get attached.

The main problem, however, is that it doesn't seem to be recognizing/packaging filetypes correctly. The only attachment type it does handle correctly is .txt. PDFs, images, etc do get attached, but when they're viewed with a different mail client, such as Thunderbird, they usually come up attached as .txt, regardless of what they are, with the resultant gibberish. When viewed from RC they show up in unpredictable ways, and certainly don't open properly.

Apparently RC is using fileinfo() rather than mime_magic() now, but for me at least, it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

I would like to get this working!!!

This is how attachments are coming out:

------=_NextPart_001_0008_01C88679.A9E43810 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ------=_NextPart_001_0008_01C88679.A9E43810 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ------=_NextPart_001_0008_01C88679.A9E43810--

Anybody else having this problem? Please let me know if you are; if enough people are running into this I'll bother the devs.

I've been having problems with the Content-Type tags for attachments sent though roundcube.

Here are examples of the attachment tags for the same excel sheet.

Sent Though Client ( Thunderbird )

Code Select Expand

Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; name="windsor report for march 2008.xls"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="windsor report for march 2008.xls"
Sent Though Roundcube Stable 0.1

Code Select Expand

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Type: application/msword; name="windsor report for march 2008.xls"; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="windsor report for march 2008.xls"
So needless to say when you try to just launch the attachment from a client it tries to open the document in word not excel.

Same problem here
(RoundCube SVN, Linux x86_64)

 1- Attachments sent by any other software (Outlook/Thunderbird/etc..) are read fine
 2- Attachments sent by Roundcube are not readable by Outlook/Thunderbird

Any update on this matter ?

Thanks a lot in advance
