Is the attach command of whatnow making no attempt whatsoever to try
to determine the correct MIME content type specification? Is every
attachment just going to be sent as "application/octet-stream"?
Dude, you make it seem like using application/octet-stream is an
injustice on par with the imprisonment of Alfred Dreyfus or an
Acadmey Award being given to Marisa Tomei. I don't think it's
unreasonable to use if nmh doesn't know how to handle a content
type.
The send(1) man page explains how nmh can be configured to map
particular suffixes to MIME content types when using atttach (although
it's brief and probably should contain a reference to the mhshow(1)
man page for the exact syntax).
Should nmh have some better defaults? Probably. In fact ... I forget
we have mhn.defaults. I could populate that with a few more things
(in fact, our defaults are kinda cruddy, now that I look at them).
But you can fix this yourself in your .mh_profile for at least some
common types. Something else for the 1.5 list :-/
