[MlMt] Inline images have "attachment" disposition and this may cause problems with ProtonMail

[Oli Sturm]

Hi,

I’m using ProtonMail Bridge and I see some odd behavior with MailMate. One strange thing is that during its detailed reformatting of messages, ProtonMail (PM) seems to drop the Content-ID properties of inline images, which breaks the img src attributes in the HTML parts, so that these images are not displayed on the recipient’s side.

When I cross-checked what PM itself generates when I send a similar email, I found that they use Content-Disposition: inline for inline images… which makes good sense to me. I wonder whether the Content-IDs are dropped by their system in cases where the disposition is attachment, but preserved for disposition inline.

And I wonder why MailMate doesn’t use inline where it seems to make very good sense to do so. I’m no RFC guru in these areas, so I may well be completely wrong here… but is there any chance there could be an MM bug here, or at least a situation where an option may be provided in case it helps compatibility?

Thanks
Oli
