  • More specific fixes I'd like to see.

    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).

    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.
