[imp] Word attachment file problem.

[Jan Schneider]

Zitat von ANANT S ATHAVALE <asa at isac.gov.in>:

> We are using the latest stable Horde Groupware edition.  And also,  
> we use Firefox 3.5 browser to access Horde/IMP.

> Yesterday we have faced the following problem with some of our users  
> in our organisation.  Following is the text which I sent to the user  
> after my investigation.

> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> You might have received some document which is in rich text format.   
> You might have opened it using Microsoft word and this has resulted  
> in adding a mime-type called 'text/richtext' with its supporting  
> application as MS-word in your browser setting.  Subsequently, when  
> you attach any word document, the browser is identifying any  
> attached word document as 'text/richtext' type instead of  
> 'application/msword'.  This information you can see under list of  
> current attachments when you attach a file and click on Update.  So,  
> the file is being sent with wrong mime-type to the the recipient(s).
>
> Those who have opened the attached file sent by you also were  
> affected, as the same mime-type and application got added in their  
> browsers (possibly).
>
> Current solution: Close the browser
>
> Remove the following file:
>
> c:\Document&Settings\USERNAME\Application  
> Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.....default\mimeTypes.rdf
>
> Here USERNAME should be replaced with your login name of your windows system.
>
> Start browser again and this should solve the problem.
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> So, I have currently a temporary solution.  Now, I would like to  
> know, whether this is a browser bug or Mail software bug.  Both  
> browser and Mail software are new and it could be bug on any of the  
> two.  Could it be a bug in IMP?

No.
