Hi, I recently received a multipart email with one of the parts being a pdf but the part was not marked with "Content-Disposition: attachment". This let to notmuch not adding tag:attachment to it. The sender assured me that he used Outlook 2013 but I can't reproduce the problem myself as I dont have microsoft products at hand. But if Outlook 2013 indeed adds attachments without setting "Content-Disposition: attachment", then maybe the problem of notmuch not recognizing them as such is more severe? The question is also what to do about it and how to detect attachments of this kind. Apparently Thunderbird detects attachments that dont say "Content-Disposition: attachment" but I did not try to figure out what its heuristic is. Also the microsoft exchange server web client is able to figure out that this part is supposed to be an attachment. What do other MUAs do? So how to create a good heuristic? Using the Content-Type? In my case, the supposed attachment was "application/octet-stream" for which it is probably unambiguous that it is an attachment and not inline? Alternatively, how about making attachment detection configurable so that everybody is free to decide himself what he wants to be treated as attachment? cheers, josch
