[mu4e bug] Regressions with saving images about mu

[djcb]

Yeah, with the move to the gnus-based viewer we gained many features, and lost a few, which are slowly coming back...
I'm planning to update the mime-handling code for the next stable release (1.11.x --> 1.12)

[djcb]

A first version of this has landed in master, and it does bring back saving for disposition "inline" attachments and some other improvements; so closing this.

But note, unfortunately this is too big to be back-merged into the release branches for 1.10 (let alone 1.8).

Hi, Thanks for your work on this!

I've updgraded to 1.12.2 and still having difficulties. I looked at https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e/MSGV-Attachments-and-MIME_002dparts.html and tried:

• M-x image-save: does appear to work, though it doesn't preserve the filename. Doesn't let me save all of them (have to do this for each)
• M-x mu4e-view-save-attachments: says no attachments for this message
• M-x mu4e-view-mime-part-action: only lists the text/html and text/plain parts, not the inlined jpegs

So I must be missing something?

Also it initially displays the images way too big, but if I click on the text/html at the top -- even though it is already displaying that -- it will zoom them out to fit in the window.

Can you attach a message where this happens? Thanks!

[jgoerzen]

It has some private stuff in it, so I've sent you an example by email to the address listed in the AUTHORS file.

[djcb]

Ah, yeah, that's a tricky message. I'll reopen this.

Note that all of the above work for most messages, it's just some very specific message. That's why I always ask to attach an example message to reproduce problems (of course removing any confidential info); anyway, I have such an example now, but please remember for any future cases, thanks!
