[9fans] Attached "noname" file

[9fans] Attached "noname" file

[Joel Salomon]

I've seen this when sending mail from Acme mail to my Gmail account:
if I attach a text file, the message text doesn't appear in the
message body but in an attachment called "noname"; the other
attachment appears under its own name.

Skip's "C99 and you" also had that property under Gmail, though I
could read it properly in Acme.  Is this Gmail or Acme Mail not
implementing an RFC properly?

It's the
	Content-Disposition: ainline
that breaks it, since this is an unknown Content-Disposition. I have  
noticed it already several times, and kept meaning to ask about it. The  
correct value should be
	Content-Disposition: inline
How come several people do have this error? Is it a bug in acme?

it's in marshal.

cpu% grep -n Content-Disposition /sys/src/cmd/upas/*/*.c | grep ainline
/sys/src/cmd/upas/marshal/marshal.c:389: 		Bprint(&out, "Content-Disposition: ainline\n");
/sys/src/cmd/upas/marshal/marshal.c:690: 		Bprint(out, "Content-Disposition: ainline\n");

[erik quanstrom]

this problem dates from march.  the cause is this patch:

	/n/sources/plan9/patch/applied/marshal-inline-c9x
or via http:
	http://arkiv.netbsd.se/?ml=plan9-source-changes&a=2006-03&t=1827114

which applied ",s:inline:ainline" to the source, which is a bit too agressive.
