Also,

I just rembered another issue I was hoping to get fixed.

For example, right now... If someone sent me an email with a file attachment, Synchronet would properly handle that, making that file available both via POP3 and via the BBS.

If, however, someone sends an FTN-style NetMail with attachment, that is not the case. Synchronet does base64 uuencode the file attachment in a multi-part mime type, but in Thunderbird, I see the entire raw text. In Synchronet, no file attachment is made available to download. (While this may actually be a DDMsgReader limitation, I will confirm if that's the case on the latter part of this, but IIRC, it was the case even with the standard reader.)

I am wrong on this part. Standard reader does provide a download link for the attachment. I'll let Nightfox know, so he can formulate a plan to hopefully make this feature work. ;)

Update on this again, WebUI doesn't work. Brief listing of issues:

The /terminal/ mode reader allows you to download said attachments.
The /Web mode reader does not even make it available or known it has any attachments.
POP3 downloading is malformed and shows the full --multipart mime-- content and Base64 UUEncoded attached content as raw, (In Thunderbird, KMail, and Evolution).

not

on the latter part of this, but IIRC, it was the case even with the

standard

reader.)

That's most likely a limitation with my message reader. I hadn't thought of accounting for file attachments, so I'll have to look into how to handle that with my reader.
