dovecot - Sep 2006 - Wrong content-type reported for messages with only a text/html body?

Hi all,

It looks like Dovecot 1.0rc7 reports the wrong content-type for messages
with only a text/html body. An example of such a message is:

---
From: mathijs at izecom.com
Subject: test
To: foobar at example.com
Content-Type: text/html;

test

---

When I talk IMAP to Dovecot directly using telnet and fetch the
bodystructure of this message, Dovecot replies:

* 1 FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE ("text" "plain"
("charset" "us-ascii") NIL NIL
"7bit" 6 1 NIL NIL NIL))

I guess that should be 'text/html', not 'text/plain'.
Is this a bug or am I missing something here?

FYI: I run Dovecot on Debian stable with version 1.0rc7 compiled from
source.

cheers,
Mathijs

Hi,

Content-type is always text/plain if there's no MIME-Version header
(probably described in RFC1341)

This will work as expected:
--
 From: mathijs at izecom.com
 Subject: test
 To: foobar at example.com
 MIME-Version: 1.0
 Content-Type: text/html;
 
 test
--
