Filename for attachments?
Reported by Scott Paterson | January 6th, 2019 @ 08:35 PM
My attachments say (for example): Image image/jpeg 117.6 KiB [Quick Look] [Save]
Could it say the actual filename too somewhere?
Thanks,
-Scott

Sorry, this is probably not a valid ticket. Most attachment names are shown. I run a website and one of my pages allows users to upload a file for me to review but it always shows the name "Image" in Mailmate, but when I drag the it out of Mailmate and on to my desktop, it saves as the actual filename...

You are welcome to send me an example using “Help ▸ Send Feedback” (drag the email into the message). It does sound like MailMate should be able to display something better than “Image”.
Alternatively, use “View ▸ Show Raw Message” to find the headers for the attachment and then post them here if they are non-sensitive.

Ok, this makes it expected behavior. The
Content-Description
header is described here.But I'll note that when I create a new attachments interface I should make both description and filename available.

Thanks, Benny! I've changed my code to include the filename as description for Content-Description.

I've implemented that MailMate will display the filename instead of the description (which is most often useless) in a future release with a new attachment view. It'll be part of an update with the new message view (no time frame on that yet, but I'll update this ticket).
