Hi,
I'm using Horde3.0.4, IMP4.02 on a Debian/Sarge Server with
the official packages from Debian.
My question is exactly the same as:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=imp&m=110798353021570&w=2
Because there isn't a real answer in the thread above, I kindly ask the
same again.
The problem is, if I attach an Excel (or PowerPoint) document in IMP
then it recognise it as application/msword. If I send the message this
way, then the mime header for this part looks like this:
Content-Type: application/msword;
name="test-01.xls"
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="test-01.xls"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
If the recipient then opens the message in IMP, he gets confused of the
msword icon and he has to download the attachment to open it correctly.
Or if he uses Thunderbird he has to save these attachments before he can
view them what's a bit cumbersome.
Did I miss somthing in the config? Or do I need an extra app on the
server to differ the different MS Office files?
Thanks in advance,
Yves
