File extensions for Mailviewer saving
Open, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

So a customer tested the current mailviewer and they would like the following changes regarding file save as / save as decrypted:

  • Decrypted mails should default to .eml file extensions.
    • Alternative offers should include .mime and .mbox
  • Encrypted mails should default to .mime
    • Alternative offers should include .p7m (for S/MIME only)
    • Alternative offers should include .eml and .mbox

As a filename suggestion the subject should be used if this creates a valid filename. If not either a sanitized subject or no suggestion.

The background for this is that .mime we can treat as as a custom extension for us since no one else that I know uses it but it is a registered extension.

.eml we usually don't take over so users can save their decrypted mails and then open it with Outlook. .asc and .p7m are too general.
