Re: Is there a way to let mutt send rfc2047 encoded attachment?



As pointed by Kun Niu <haoniukun@xxxxxxxxx>, I finally get that one
working. Although the patch is provided for mutt-1.5.10, it also works
for mutt-1.5.16. 
See http://learn.tsinghua.edu.cn:8080/2002315162/muttpatched.html

That webpage is written in Chinese. So I summarize it in the
following:

First you need download a patch for mutt, which is at
http://www.emaillab.org/mutt/download1510.html. Then apply the patch.
Finally you can set whether or not to send RFC 2047 encoded mail by
setting the parameter "create_rfc2047_parameters" to yes or no.

I also set some send-hook for convience:
        send-hook "\.ac\.cn" "set create_rfc2047_parameters=yes"
        send-hook "\.gmail\.com" "set create_rfc2047_parameters=yes"

You can set your own hook like these.
