Package: icedove
Version: 3.0.11-2
Severity: normal
when an attachment has an extension in uppercase, the "open attachment" option
only allows to save as a file.
i copied the mail on my mail server and only changed the extension to lower
case, and icedove opened the attachment as expected.
this hast been reproduced for:
foo.PDF -> only saving
foo.pdf -> will be opened in desktop standard program
bar.JPG -> only saving
bar.jpg -> opened
baz.DOC -> only saving
baz.doc -> opened
my current workaround is this little snippet executed from time to time:
>> awk '{ printf("%s\t\t",$1);for(i=2;i<=NF;i++){printf("%s %s
",$i,toupper($i))};printf("\n")}' < /etc/mime.types > ~/.mime.types
it copies all mime types from /etc/mime.types and adds the extensions as
uppercase.
this works until someone send me an email with an attachment qux.Pdf...
the "mimetype" program seems to use .tolower() (or something alike) on the
extension if it can not find a mime-type for an upper-case extension.
