(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: KDE 2.9.1 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot Severity: wishlist Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified KMail cannot handle uuencoded attachment from outlook. A message with uuencoded attachment is like this: in the header: X-MS-Attachment: 1stAttach 0 00-00-1980 00:00 X-MS-Attachment: 2ndfile.tar.gz 0 00-00-1980 00:00 the the body of the message and at the end of the body begin 600 1stAttach data end begin 600 2ndfile.tar.gz data end It would be nice to support those type of attachments too. If you need more info I can send a message containing uuencoded attachments. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)

This type of encoding is deprecated since MIME was invented (RFC 1341 is=20 from June 1992) and even Outlook users shouldn't use it anymore.

Marc - --=20 In July [...] the FBI arrested a Russian computer security researcher who had presented a paper on the strengths and weaknesses of software used to protect electronic books. Dmitry Sklyarov [...] landed in jail because the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes publishing critical research on this technology a more serious offense than publishing nuclear weapon designs. -- Bruce Schneier Crypto-Gram Aug 2001 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8NuUv3oWD+L2/6DgRAu1ZAKCZydaw8Bs4eFtEUF+2FRoFIUBawACfXDx2 EeBUtXBFFs1LhIJH3ZDwJNA=3D =3Dk2Y2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
