i *think* i know the answer to this, but i'll ask anyway so i don't
go wandering off down the wrong path.
i just go an android phone, and i'm testing creating messages with
the Mail and Mail_mime packages and sending them to my phone via my
carrier's MMS gateway.
i can, from my regular e-mail account (this one), email with an
attachment to my phone, and it shows up fine. however, when i use the
PEAR classes to create a MIME message and send it to my phone, it
appears to arrive but asks that i download the attachment, which it
then fails to do.
i took those two emails (the one that worked, and the one that
didn't), ran them both thru mimedecode and the major difference seems
to be that the one that worked had the attachment with a content
disposition of "inline", while the one that failed had "attachment",
so i'm *guessing* that's the critical difference.
as i read it, i can't set the content disposition simply with the
Mail_mime class, i need Mail_mimePart, correct?
