Description Peter Hutterer 2012-08-23 06:41:54 UTC

Any chance we can switch the default attachment type from application/octet-stream to text/plain? It'll cover most cases better than the current approach that requires us to click a few times to get log files back to plain text.

It now defaults to being forced to text/plain.  If I get complaints about this, I might switch it back to autodetect, though that's not really any better, as it then trusts the web browser to send the right type..

Just for the record: here are the complatints ;-):
Bug 55270 - “Default method for determining the attachment content mime type is no longer ‘Auto-detect’, but ‘select from list’”
