patch to add "application/ms-tnef" to TNEF plugin (878 bytes, patch)

Description Paul Bolle 2008-02-06 12:39:26 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Currently the TNEF Attachment decoder plugin only handles "application/vnd.ms-tnef" attachments. I happen to receive only "application/ms-tnef" attachments:
$ grep ms-tnef $HOME/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox
Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat"
Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat"
Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat"

Another data-point:
$ grep ms-tnef /usr/share/magic.mime 
0               lelong  0x223e9f78      application/ms-tnef

Two quick Google searches showed that both MIME types are mentioned on the web.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?


Other information:
I'll attach a (trivial) patch that adds this second MIME-type to the TNEF plugin.

patch to add "application/ms-tnef" to TNEF plugin

Trivial. Not tested (I do not run evolution-trunk and on my Fedora 8 box I've just edited the corresponding .eplug file by hand).
Comment 2 Srinivasa Ragavan 2008-02-06 15:12:53 UTC 
I think it is right.
