[imp] mime types - everything application/octet-stream?

[Matthew Hilty]

Hi All,
	Just upgraded from horde/imp 2.2.1 to 2.2.4 (redhat 6.2, 
Apache 1.3.14-2.6.2, PHP3.0.18 horde)  and am experiencing the exact 
same thing, although each of these browsers (without preference 
changes) worked just fine with 2.2.1...attachments sent from Eudora, 
for instance,  have the correct MIME type and IMP handles them as it 
always has (viewing jpg in a new window, using wordview, etc) but, 
mail sent from IMP only associates application/octet-stream for any 
and all uploaded attachments.   This has been tested while browsing 
on Win98, NT, MacOS, Linux, LinuxPPC, and using IE and Netscape, with 
consistent results. No changes were made to /imp/config/defaults.php3 
in the meantime...
	So, if it really is a case of stupid user/browser, where 
would I specify in my browser how to correctly associate file types 
(based on extension?) with the correct MIME type?
 
thanks,
matthew
