Description Brendon Higgins 2020-10-13 21:30:54 UTC
A colleague of mine sends me an email using Apple Mail. He embeds images into the message, which are given "Content-Disposition: inline;". When I view the email in KMail, the (default) Plain Message mode makes no mention of any images. I would have presumed they would appear as attachments - or something - given that Plain Message cannot display that content.

I reply to my colleague asking for the image he refers to, only to end up slightly embarrassed because it was indeed sent with the original message. I would have seen it if I had switched to HTML Message view.

In fact, it seems like there isn't any way to view/save such an embedded image without enabling HTML Message view...
