Hi.
 
This has been already asked before, let me resume it again:
 
About this WSSP parameter:
<!--%%FORALL message in messages-->
    <!--%%FORALL field in message[].fields-->
        <!--%%IF message[].notText-->
 
Actually, it's set to "YES" as soon as the message content-type is "multipart/*". It's not really useful. It's supposed to be intented to show the presence of attached files or at least non-text parts in the message, but "multipart/alternative" is usually multiparts of text, one being text/plain and the other text/html.
 
Would it be possible to modify the behavior of this property - or add a new one - to report the "multipart/mixed" content-type. This would be really useful to show a relevant "paper clip" icon in the webmail.
 
Thanks.

I'll second that request.

The number of messages that arrive that are 'multipart/' but don't actually contain attachments is increasing.
