Hi,
when i downloaded a message/external-body part which had the following
headers:
Content-Type: message/external-body; access-type=URL;
URL*0="http://";
URL*1="www.kanji.zinbun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~tomo/";
URL*2="comp/emacsen/lisp/";
URL*3="semi/semi-1.14-for-flim-1.14/";
URL*4="emh-1.14.0.tar.gz"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
name="emh-1.14.0.tar.gz";
type=tar;
conversions=gzip
i've got a file with the name emh-1.14.0.tar.gz (which appeared as an
additional mime button), and i saved that part in a file.
but the file appeared as a TAR file, not gzipped.
(so, the name was misleading)
is this a bug?
Best,
v.

I'd say it is a bug on the sender's MUA. It should either have left off
the .gz extensions, or ommitted the conversions field.
