When I add any file to a new forum topic, it is normally sent to the server NNTP. When reading this message through outlook attachment appears normal. When you try to open it in "Mozilla Thunderbird" attachment is not shown, but in the end of the message is displayed:

begin 644 Untitled-1.rar
M4F%R(1H'`,^0<P``#0`````````\E'0@D#,`.4T``)")```"T<EK2`M],#P=

M_(>X.=]\YYYSS[]YS?QS>55[/G^4NJJZ@ZJ+7]U75U=W5[O=

And more.

If you attach files with the aid of Thunderbird, they are encoded in
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"

how to win Mozilla?

Thunderbird doesn't support older UUencoded attachments. I guess we need to change FUDforum's NNTP posting code to support MIME attachments. Would you be willing to prepare a patch for us?

Unfortunately I'm not such a good specialist in programming, to help in this project. But I can help with translation and correction of errors in the Russian localization.

I've been having this problem since forever. It seems the Content-type:text/plain header was interfering with Thunderbird's ability to parse the attachment. Here's a quich patch to nntp.inc which omits sending a MIME header if attachments are present.

fputs($this->fs, "User-Agent: FUDforum\r\n");
+ if (!is_array($attch)) {
+ fputs($this->fs, 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset='. $GLOBALS['CHARSET'] ."; format=flowed\r\n");
+ }
- fputs($this->fs, 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset='. $GLOBALS['CHARSET'] ."; format=flowed\r\n");

We first need to find out what this will do to posts with (non-ASCII) UTF8 characters.

Do you know if this issue was reported as a Thunderbird bug/ enhancement request?

BTW: FUDforum 3.0.3 will be able to post MIME encoded attachments, which will probably solve the problem as well (development sponsored by James).

MIME attachments will definitely be the better solution, thanks Smile
