Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:21:03 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5945 multipart/alternative MIME handling I think I've found a bug in IMP v4.1.5 MIME handling. I have a message with the following (odd!) MIME structure (as reported by Pine): Parts/Attachments: 1.1 Shown 5 lines Text 1.2.1 Shown ~17 lines Text 1.2.2 OK 939 KB Application 1.2.3 Shown 0 lines Text 2 2.5 KB Application ---------------------------------------- In IMP, it shows up as: Headers: Show All Headers Multipart/alternative Alternative parts for this section: Help unnamed [text/plain] 0.24 KB Download unnamed [text/html] 1.14 KB Download J Biol Chem 1983 Venter-1.pdf [application/pdf] 917 KB Download HTML Click HERE to view HTML content in a separate window. Clicking on any of the links shows a completely blank HTML window, and there is no text at all show inline. Fri, 30 Nov 2007 21:29:24 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5945#t39210 The attched message was empty. Fri, 30 Nov 2007 22:59:42 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5945#t39223 Trying again... The attachment should be around 1.2MB. Sat, 01 Dec 2007 00:10:53 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5945#t39225 Failed again, I guess. I put it online at http://oregonstate.edu/~morgan/77054.msg Sat, 01 Dec 2007 00:15:01 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5945#t39226 I couldn't open this message with IMP, Thunderbird, or Mail.app. Seems like it's broken. Sat, 01 Dec 2007 10:42:12 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5945#t39235 Okay, this time I exported the message from IMP itself into a MBOX file. You can grab it at: http://oregonstate.edu/~morgan/test.mbox Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:42:56 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5945#t39243 All links work perfectly for me. It has to be your c-client choking on the mime structure of that message. The only issue I noticed was that if you enable html inline messages in imp's configuration, the html body part is not correctly displayed. But you can still retrieve it through one of the attachment links, and it works correctly with imp 4.2.

The message displays correctly, but the links to view or download the PDF attachment (which are displayed inline) are incorrect. Click on the view link opens a pop-up window which has the following URL: https://webmail4-test.onid.oregonstate.edu/imp/view.php?popup_view=1&actionID=view_attach&id=2.2&mimecache=197054aa93e86cd7a3217dd2fd35c8a6 and displays a blank page. If I add the parameters "&mailbox=INBOX&index=77054" to the URL, it works correctly, displaying the PDF file. Also, the "Download All Attachments (in .zip file)" link at the top of the message works correctly. I cannot figure out why the code is not including the mailbox name and message uid in the generated URL though.

In order to make it display, I also need to fix the "id" parameter by changing it from "2.2" (there is no mime part 2.2) to "1.2.2" (the correct mime part id). So there are 2 problems with the URL, although I suspect they are related. Mon, 13 Oct 2008 23:12:15 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5945#t49673 The MIME library is being rehauled for 4.0. Issues relating to MIME will be taken up after that code stabilizes. Sun, 19 Oct 2008 21:26:18 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5945#t49808 This message views fine in IMP 5.
