Some scanners mail the scanned pdf file as an application/octet-stream with pdf extension. These are indeed pdf files. Currently, they are not opened as pdf, but I get the application chooser dialog, because no application is associated to application/octet-stream. I would like the system to (try and) open such files as pdf files, i.e., fall back to filename extension-based detection for application/octet-stream mimetyped files.

Is this possible to configure in the file associations kcm or in another way? An octet-stream is random binary data. You can assign it to eg.

Okular, but that's 'wrong' since it's random binary data. What needs to happen is that whatever opens the file (kmail?) either prefers the suffix over the mimetype (ugghhh.) or (much better omits the (particular) mimetype, so that the system is forced to detect it. -> File a bug against whatever opens it. A shorthand 'solution' would likely be to assign octet-stream data to always be openened by 'kioclient[4 5] exec%U' (which redirects the opening and scratches the mimetype), but I've never tried that. => 'kcmshell[4 5] filetypes'.

When you open such a mail, Thunderbird only looks at the MIME header and does not open acroread when it encounters application/octet-stream. As PDF is an often used format and there are somany broken mailers I'd propose to use the attached patch (or any adaption of it) that let Thunderbird check whether the attachment with the type octet-stream has a name that ends with '.pdf' and in that case resets the content-type to application/pdf. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Send yourself a mail with PDF attachment and content-type 'application/octet-stream' 2.Open the mail in the viewer window 3.Click on attachment Actual Results: A dialog opens where the found attachment is recognized as 'binary data' and you get asked what to do with it.

Expected Results: The attachment should be recognized as PDF (from the file name) and the user be asked whether to open it with acroread (or what ever). 11 years ago @Magnus no, unfortunately it doesn't work. I tried to add code like that at other places as well (mimemsg.cpp or mimemult.cpp) but there seems to be other places where the content-type header is accessed directly via MimeHeaders_get() and the rewrite has no effect. The only way I see is to make the rewrite inside MimeHeaders_get(), however there is no MimeDisplayOptions argument available to query the filename via MimeHeaders_get_name(). Any idea how to fix that? Where is the best place to add such a rewrite check? 10 years ago Comment on patch, v3 This looks good.
