The sender just uses the "attach-file" function in his buggy MUA, and the MUA does it wrong... :( But anyway, I can always filter the arbitrary octets through a command in my mailcap entry. So my opinion is still: "RET" for viewing the MIME part using the mailcap and "o" for saving it, and no exception for application/octet-stream. -- Peter
