When getting pictures in Attachment, I can't view them in
Thunderbird, have to "Save As" in home directory to view *.jpg pictures.
In the email it's showing the;
Content-Type Application/Octet-Stream
name= "*.jpg "
How can I setup in Preferences to display this "Octet Stream" by
using Gwenview to view pictures.
You can't. "application/octet-stream" is a generic MIME type. It's
used only when a known MIME type is not known, for a given file.
This is a bug in the sender's mail software, for failing to properly
assign a correct MIME type to an attachment.
These Damn Emails are probably coming from Outlook and Thunderbird
can't view attached pictures.
Examining the headers of this message should identify the buggy mail
client.
Not just a "buggy mail client".
You tell a STUPID Windows user he has got a buggy mail client, he will
look at you like your a moron, when he feels he can view the pictures.
