[Mimedefang] Re: proposing a patch for URL listing in boilerplate and more

HI.

To David - yes, the idea of "action_save_for_web" seems to me like the 
right way,
and I can help testing it.

MS Outlook doesn't show clickable links in plain text parts,
and this is one of the reasons that I wrote my customized version that I 
sent before.

Also, as far as I know - if there are both HTML and PLAIN versions of 
the same message
most email clients will display the HTML version.
so we will need to modify both PLAIN and HTML parts using the boilerplate.

The following procedure from my previos post here demonstartes how I 
solved/workedaround some problems:

#***********************************************************************
# %PROCEDURE: list_detached_files
#***********************************************************************
sub list_detached_files ($) {
    my($entity) = @_;
    my $plain = $DetachListTextTop. join("\n", @DetachedFiles).
$DetachListTextBot;
    my $html = $plain;
    $html =~ s|(http://\S*)|<a href="$1">$1</a>|g;
    $html =~ s/\n/<br>\n/g;
    append_text_boilerplate($entity, $plain, 0);
    append_html_boilerplate($entity, $html, 0);
}
