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.
The problem is simply that I do not want Content-ID headers
to appear in the message that I create.
My big-hammer solution is to disable output of Content-ID's,
under control of an option to mhbuild.
Another approach might include (among other things) insertion of <> in
the directives that X-MH-Attachment generates just before the [:
#text/plain; name="foo.txt"; x-unix-mode=0644 <>[ English text ] /tmp/foo
.txt
#application/pdf; name="foo.pdf"; x-unix-mode=0644 <>[ Adobe Portable Doc
ument Format (PDF) v1.2 ] /foo/multiatt.pdf
Would there be a reasonable way to do that? I see where it
would be done in the code, in make_mime_composition_file_entry ().
But I don't see a convenient way to change what goes into those
directives. Maybe add a configure option?
This sounds like a matter of personal taste as you never want content-id
headers; it's not something that you do on a message by mesage basis. So
why not add a dash option and you can put it in your profile? Seems nicer
than added more cryptic goo to something that is already too cryptic for
a sane person to use which is why I added the attachment handling code a
while back.
Yes, agreed. And thank you for adding the attachment
handling support. I got tangled up in the cryptic goo
one too many times.
The option to suppress Content-ID: could be added to either
mhbuild or send. mhbuild seems like the right place,
because that's where the MIME message is created. And it's
trivial to do there.
