Mail MIME Attachment IS NOT TO SPEC ----------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4841 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-4841 Project: Seam 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Mail Affects Versions: 2.2.0.GA Environment: Centos 5.x, Centos 6.x, Jboss 5.1.0, Thunderbird 5.x, Thunderbird 6.x Reporter: nathan dennis Assignee: Pete Muir Labels: MIME, RFC2387, attachement, mail, stucture Fix For: 2.2.1.CR2 Message containing attachments not intended to be displayed inline are being formatted incorrectly. The current MIME type is not to spec RFC2387. (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2387.txt) As a result, mail clients that have chosen to strictly follow the spec will no longer correctly handle non inline attachments generated with seam mail. i believe this is related to JBSEAM-3906. However that work around listed there will create more problems than it will fix. (i actually tried that workaround on my own before i even visited the forum for help.) on closer inspection, it will attach ALL attachments using the inherited parent MIME type mixed which will cause all of your inline content to not be formatted. ei... <m:attachment value="/img.png" contentType="image/jpeg" fileName="header.jpg" status="headerPhoto" disposition="inline" /> <img src="cid:#{headerPhoto.contentId}" /> will no long work. i actually started rewriting some of UIBody.java only to realize i needed to read and study more before i wrote a patch. below is a sample message.
