Problem with Attachments coming from Lotus Notes
The company where I work uses Lotus Notes for their corporate email.
I use Mutt and everything, for the most part, is working fine.
However, I have one problem that I'm hoping somebody can help me with,
involving attachments.
Scenario 1:
Notes user composes an email to me in which they attach an image file.
They attach this image by clicking on the paper clip icon in their
mail client. When I receive the email, everything works fine. I can
type "v" to view the attachment list and then view the image.
Scenario 2:
The Notes user composes the email to me. But this time, they "insert"
(for lack of a better verb) the image into their email. They do this
by clicking on "Create" -> "Picture" in their menu bar.
Under scenario 2, when I open the email, lynx tries to dump the HTML
to me, and it shows something like this:
[cid:_2_04C54DF804C530F40078770D86257138]
Furthermore, when I click "v" to view the attachment, this is what
Mutt always shows me:
1 <no description> [multipa/alternativ, 7bit, 0.2K]
2 <no description> [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 0K]
3 <no description> [text/html, 7bit, us-ascii, 0.1K]
4 <no description> [image/jpeg, base64, 32K]
The image attachment (line 4) is what is giving me grief. I can't
view it apparently because it has no name. (This is verified by
trying to save the image. When doing so, no name is supplied and I
have to make something up.) The only way I can view this image is to
save it with a name that I give it, then open it outside of Mutt
using my image viewer.
Has anybody dealt with this before? Is there a way to instruct Mutt
to give attachments a predefined name when they don't already have
one ("image0.gif" -- for example).
Thanks,
