Description greg.oliver 2007-06-13 19:30:27 UTC 
As of 2.10, evolution will no longer open attachments with capital letter endings.  Like MSG0002.WAV (our companies voicemail) - prior with 2.8 and below, it worked fine.  Could it be some compile time option that Ubuntu Feisty, or going from 32-64 bit may have done? 

I have never run anything prior except Gentoo (and will be going back when I have time)	

Thanks,

Greg

Content-Type: audio/x-WAV; name="msg0002.WAV"
Content-Description: Voicemail sound attachment.
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="msg0002.WAV"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

I only have "save as" option anymore, but if I save it as msg0002.wav and resend it, it works just fine and lets me play it inline with movie player or vlc, etc....

So I noticed the ones that work now are Content-Type: audio/x-wav, so somewhere along the lines either Gnome or ZEvo dropped support for caps.  Any quick and easy way to fix?  It is a pain saving all my voicemails to then listen to them.

Thanks,

Greg

Just another note - I can open them with totem or whatever by right clicking them on my desktop, so the gnome mime types are OK.  Just in case, I added audio/WAV to my totem.desktop file and restarted with no difference.  Is there somewhere I can look in Evo to set MIME types.   I have looked all ove and found nothing.
