https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D210537 Bug ID: 210537 Summary: [patch] [feature request] set MIME type in cron-generated e-mails Product: Base System Version: 10.2-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: patch, patch-ready Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mi@FreeBSD.org Keywords: patch It is perfectly legitimate for cron-jobs to rely on cron doing the e-mailing for them. And it works perfectly fine for the default content-type of text/plain. However, if a cron-job generated HTML, PNG, or anything other than text/pla= in, it currently has to do the mailing itself. The proposed patch, which I've been using for the last 9 years here myself modifies the mail-sending part of cron to use libmagic(3) to determine the output's type. If determined successfully, the Content-Type header is set to advise the recipient's e-mail program on how to treat the message: http://aldan.algebra.com/~mi/cron-mime.diff --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
