Without the source of an example message, there's nothing to go on 
here.  And you are correct - IMP 4.0.3 is way too old to be reporting 
issues like this.

Just a quick follow-up ... if the zip files are replaced with images, 
Apple Mail formats it as multipart/related and everything looks fine 
in Webmail.

Hi - I'm not sure if I would consider this a bug or not, but I'd like 
an expert's opinion ... a user sent me a sample email from an Apple 
Mail client, in which he had three lines of text, with a zip file 
attached between each line. The message came from Apple Mail formatted 
like this:



-- multipart/alternative

---- text/plain (just the text lines with some control chars between them)

---- multipart/mixed

------ text/html

------ application/zip

------ text/html

------ application/zip

------ text/html



Now, I would consider this to be "incorrect" from a useability 
perspective, since the zip files are inaccessible from the plain 
version of the message. But regardless, WebMail does not seem to 
render it properly - it only displays the last text/html part, and 
lists all the other mixed parts (along with the text/plain part) as 
"alternative parts for this section".



So, leaving the weirdness of Apple Mail's formatting aside, is this a 
bug in WebMail's MIME handling? I can attach the aforementioned sample 
email if you want to see it.



I'm using IMP 4.0.3 (H3), which I know is one point release back, but 
my understanding was that all the MIME handling was rewritten in 4.0. 
If there have been further revisions to it since 4.0.3, let me know 
and I'll just assume this is fixed in a newer release. :) Thanks.
