Hi --
My wife got a message this morning that it seems like mhfixmsg should
have fixed, but it didn't.
$ mhshow 1
mhshow: "message/rfc822" type in message 1 should be encoded in 7bit or
8bit, continuing...
$ mhlist 1
mhlist: "message/rfc822" type in message 1 should be encoded in 7bit or
8bit, continuing...
$ mhfixmsg -fixcte 1
mhfixmsg: "message/rfc822" type in message 1 should be encoded in 7bit or
8bit, continuing...
mhfixmsg: unable to parse message 1
The message contains a message/rfc822 part that looks like this:
--Apple-Mail-950A10F4-B067-45E2-9EBF-2EEA9661B8A6
Content-Type: message/rfc822;
name=98894;
x-apple-part-url=3FB56B15-9549-4FA3-9242-FCC77508A3C6
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=98894
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
If I edit the message, and change that C-T-E to 8bit, mhlist looks
like this, and mhshow works properly:
$ mhlist 1
msg part type/subtype size description
1 multipart/mixed 62K
1 text/plain 296
2 message/rfc822 61K
I thought (from reading the man page, and skimming the code) that this
change to C-T-E (i.e., binary --> 8bit) is exactly what -fixcte was supposed
to do. Is there something more subtle going on that I'm missing?
