We've managed to setup spandsp to receive faxes and email them to the appropriate person.

We did all of our testing using Thunderbird, and the attached pdf files worked very well. However, when we went "live", some people complained that the attachments in outlook were named <<subject>>.dat instead (for example) of 123456.pdf

Having looked into the mime-construct script, we noticed a subtle difference between working Outlook attachments and Thunderbird. The differences are shown below in case anyone is interested.

left is the original mime-construct, right is our modified version

332c332
< $part_header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="
---
> $part_header .= "Content-Disposition: inline; filename="
405c405
< $p .= cont "Content-Type: $type\n"
---
> $p .= cont "Content-Type: $type;\n name=" . token_quote($arg) . "\n"


Outlook now names the attachment correctly, and Thunderbird also seems to work just as well with the changes.

Hope someone finds this useful.

Julian.
