When I change it to:
if ($disp =~ /\b(attachment|inline)\b/i) {
apparently everything works like I want it to.
Do you see any problems in my "solution"?
Yes, because what you are basically checking for is the *existence*
of the Content-Disposition header. Logically, if a Content-Disposition
is not present, "inline" is assumed.
You are taking advantage of a common MUA behavior where the main
message header usually does explicitly define a Content-Disposition.
But hey, if it the above works for use, who am I to argue about it.
Note, to just check for the existance of Content-Disposition, the
following will do:
if (defined($fields->{'content-disposition'})) {
...
}
Another question:
Are there MUAs that attach files without including the
"Content-Disposition" header at all?
Yes, I know of one. However, it is an MUA that I seriously doubt
any of your users will use. I believe all the popular GUI
MUAs will define it.
