In the past, the fax notifications have come through with the proper attachments 'thumbs.gif' and 'fax.pdf'.
What means in the past? Did it work with some earlier version of Thunderbird?
Now, in thunderbird, instead of getting 'thumbs.gif' and 'fax.pdf', you get attachments of 'Part 1.1.2' (instead of thumb.gif) and 'Part 1.2' (instead of fax.pdf).
Just a quick shot. Your data below does not specify a "filename" of the attachment. The header I usually get for stuff like that is for example: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="RG791113586.pdf"
I can save 'Part 1.1.2' as whatever.gif and save 'Part 1.2' as something.pdf and view them fine, but the problem is that something isn't working correctly in the attachment recognition in thunderbird. But what??
My guess is that if there is no filename Thunderbird is using this generic 'Part 1.1.2' identifiers.
I have posted to the hylafax-user list and they have suggested it is an encoding issue in tbird. For grins, I have opened the emails in windows and they do come through as (ATT00007.gif and ATT00010.pdf) for example. That's fine, because the filetypes are correctly recognized.
A mail application is most likely free how to handle unnamed files. You get these names on Thunderbird for Windows or another MUA?
Wolfgang/All - does anybody have an idea what may be causing these .gif and .pdf attachments to be listed as 'Part 1.1.2' and 'Part 1.2' in thunderbird? More importantly - any idea how to make thunderbird list the attachments as something.gif and something.pdf as a fix?
Encode a filename for the attachment in the mail creation process? Actually I would need to dig deeper into it why not or if it would make sense for Thunderbird to analyze the Content-Type if no filename is given and create a smarter name than "Part-1-2" or alike.
