Displaying and saving attachments

Attachments are shown in a panel at the bottom of the message's body. Attachments of type 'text/plain' with no filename are directly shown in the body as well as in the list.

Saving attachments

Select the files to be saved (multi-selection is possible) in the attachments list and use the Message/Attachment/Save command.
If several attachments are selected, a directory selector will appear. If only one attachment is selected, a filename and path selector will appear, so that it's possible to change the name of the file being saved.
For each attachment with no predefined filename, the application will prompt for a filename before saving.

Viewing attachments with a helper program

MIME types can be associated with an external program to be viewed. This is done in the database with the programs table. Currently, there's no provision in the user interface to view or edit the associations between mime types and programs, so it has to be done at the database level.

Viewing the attachments as text

Select one attachment and use the Message/Attachment/View as text command. It will open a non-modal window that shows the attachment contents as raw text. Attachments of type text/plain with a character set will be decoded to be displayed properly.
