Re: Apple mail



[15.May.07 17:14 +1000] Brian Salter-Duke:
Could anyone suggest the best way to cleanup this sort of mail? I have
recently received two from different people. It is a mess. The html is
not an attachment.

Mail minus headers follows

Assuming the appropriate headers were present in the original mail, the problem is with the text/plain part:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset=US-ASCII;
        delsp=yes;
        format=flowed

Content-Transfer-Encoding should be “quoted-printable” and charset is iso-8859-1, not ascii. Also the quotation is not properly flowed (in both parts) but it does not affect readability that much.

Does it look better if you change these?

You can change the content-type with the <edit-type> function from mutt. But I don’t know how to change the transfer-encoding without editing the raw message.
