forwarding emails with attachments

Hi all.

I have never managed to resolve my problem with forwarding email
messages which have attachments.

Having received an email which includes an attached image file, if I
want to forward to someone else, I hit 'f' and get this in my buffer:

	------------------------------------------------------------------
	To: pete
	cc: 
	Fcc: +outbox
	Subject: pete phillips: email with attachment
	X-Mailer: MH-E 8.0.2; nmh 1.1; GNU Emacs 22.0.50
	--------
	Test email

using a comp -form template with mh-e


Hi,

Is there some way to use the -form option on "comp" when composing a
message with mh-e?  I have some boilerplate responses to repeating
issues, and I have alternate form templates with different email
addresses (admin, etc.).  How can I pass the -form <blah> paramter to
the send mail command in mh-e?  Can I add a paramter by using "C-c u"
with "m" somehow?  I have combed through the mh-e manual and there are a
blizzard of customizations, but I didn't see this one.

Thanks a lot!

Lester

Hmmm... tricky, but possible. You would need to play with 
some of the more bizarre hacks to elisp.

(require 'advice)
(defmacro mh-send-sub (around query-before-using-components active)
  (let* ((mh-comp-formfile-default mh-comp-formfile)
         (mh-comp-formfile (funciton-you-need-write mh-comp-formfile-default)))
    ad-do-it)
)

where function-you-need-to-write will probably print the original
mh-comp-formfile-default as a possible default value.

Because the mh-comp-formfile will have been over-ridden, from being a
global to being in scope, the desire you have to use a different one
might work.

Hi Lester,

MH-E does not support this out of the box. I've appended the code I use
to do this (comps is directory in Mail that contains my forms).

How many folks here have done this? Would this be a useful feature to
add to MH-E core?

  (defun bw-mh-folder-mode-hook ()
    "Hook to set key bindings in MH-Folder mode."
    ;;...
    (local-set-key "\C-cm" 'bw-compose-mail-with-template)
    (local-set-key "\C-cr" 'bw-reply-with-template))

  ;; Send and reply using different templates.
  (defun bw-reply-with-template (form)
    "Reply with the alternate template FORM."
    (interactive (list (read-file-name
			"Form: "
			(concat mh-user-path "comps/") nil t)))
    (let* ((mh-repl-formfile (expand-file-name form))
	   (mh-repl-group-formfile mh-repl-formfile))
      (call-interactively 'mh-reply)))

  (defun bw-compose-mail-with-template (form)

When I needed to hack my mail headers, I did it
via the mh-identity hooks for the most part.

I would have no objections to this added
flexibility.

Hi Pete,

I just tried this, and both my girlfriend (with Thunderbird) and I (with
MH-E) got a forwarded message and the image was intact.

You don't need -build--MH-E takes care of that for you already.

See the mh-compose-forward-as-mime-flag option; by default this option
is on which adds the -mime flag for you.

My forw entry looks like this:

  forw: -annotate -inplace -form components -format

> Any clues appreciated.  If you require more info, just ask.

Could a few of you folks try this and ack with their .mh_profile forw
settings? 

Pete, I assume you're using 8.0?

OK, good.

OK, at least now I *see* why your messages are getting corrupted. When I
removed the blank line from the following at the top of your forwarded
message (using `M' (`mh-modify')), I was able to view your image (that's
a *shower*? .

  Forwarded: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 09:55:37 +0100
  Forwarded: "pete <at> philfam.co.uk "

  >From pete  Tue Oct 16 09:55:03 2007
  Return-Path: <pete <at> smtl.co.uk>

My annotations do not include the blank line.

I suspect it's the uucp separator "From pete " that is confusing things.
If you remove this header field from the message you are forwarding,
does your forwarded message work as expected? If so, let's get rid of
it. If you use rcvstore to file your messages, you can use my rcvstore

Accented characters in email headers

Hi all,

This isn't a true MH-E issue, but perhaps you guys can help anyway.

Since the last month or so, I've been having problems with some email
addresses at work that contain unencoded accented characters.  Mail
messages from people with accented characters in their names used to
arrive looking something like:

  From: "Doé, John" <DoeJ <at> work.ca>

Something in the MS Exchange server changed and now it comes unquoted:

  From: Doé, John <DoeJ <at> work.ca>

This confuses my MTA (postfix) and the message gets to my inbox looking
like:

 From: Doé <at> lauimlex01.qc.dfo.ca, John <DoeJ <at> work.ca>

where "lauimlex01.qc.dfo.ca" is my mail relay that passed the message.
Replying in MH-E generates a bad To: line containing both apparent
addresses.

I'm sure this unquoted string breaks some RFC.  Is there a reference I
can use to get them to change the configuration?

Is there a known MS-Exchange issue about this?

Is there something I can tell postfix (or some other MTA) to accept

Re: Accented characters in email headers

Peter,

i can't say about MS Exchange server errors, but "Doe, John <foo <at> bar.com>" 
means, specifically, *2* e-mail addresses, so i wouldn't want to see the code 
that tries to "heuristicize" this into just one e-mail address (too many 
opportunities for false positives).

in case that helps.  though, probably, you knew that already.

cheers, Greg Minshall
