Re: [Nmh-workers] suppress Content-ID's with new mhbuild option?

2006-01-29 18:48:55
I have been manually editing drafts to remove Content-ID
headers from outgoing MIME messages.  The default
configuration of Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.3416, in
particular, doesn't see attachments in incoming messages if
there are Content-ID headers.  (There are a few old postings
to comp.mail.mh about it.  That's not the latest version of
Outlook, but I still need to deal with it.)

I'd like to remove the manual steps, as well as support use
of X-MH-Attachment headers, which doesn't give me a chance
to edit the final draft before sending.

<> in the type directive gets part of the job done, but I've
not found a way to suppress Content-ID in the message header
without hacking nmh itself.

From the mhbuild man page:

By  default,  mhbuild  will  generate  a  unique "Content-ID:" for each
directive; however, the user may override this by defining the ID using
the "<" and ">" characters.

and from the web:

http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html

Does that do the trick?

Cheers,

        - Joel
