[Ifile-discuss] ifile & attachments

[Peter Jaques]

I've been using ifile with procmail/fetchmail to filter all my incoming
mail for a couple of weeks now. Mostly it does pretty well. I've noticed,
though, that almost any message with a binary attachment will be
miscategorized. If i delete the attachment & run the message through "ifile
-q", ifile usually guesses right. So it seems that ifile is tokenizing the
binary data as well as the text of the message, or for some reason the
attachment is affecting ifile's decision. Is it possible to disable this
behavior?

By the way, emails in Turkish (which uses a few non-lower-ascii characters)
also are frequently misplaced, though this might be improving as i get more
such messages; it's hard to be sure. 

Thanks!
