tag 541241 +confirmed upstream forwarded 541241 http://bugs.mutt.org/3325 thanks
Hi Joey, I've debugged the problem and found that it was caused by a misdetection of the content-type by mutt: mutt uses mime.types but .gz and .bz2 (and so on) are considered encodings, so, since mutt is unable to find the correct mime it will try to guess if it's a binary file or not by counting the percentage of binary chars on the file, if it's more than 10% it is a binary file for mutt. Your .tar.gz contains a 9.99% binary chars so it is classified as text file, so it gets converted based on your encoding and, therefore, corrupted :| I've reported the bug upstream and suggested a solution, see the forwarded bug for more info Cheers Antonio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
