Hello Jan,

"smtpclient" is part of the extra-addons, which are maintained by the
community, including all the modules created by "OpenERP" or "Tiny", as
none of these are actively developed by our teams anymore.

So if you or anyone from the community would like to work on it, please
mark the bug as "In progress" and assign it to yourself (or ask us or
anyone from OpenERP Drivers to do it for you). In the mean time, I will
mark it as "Won't fix" to indicate that no further progress is expected
at the moment.

Thank you!

PS: For whomever works on fixing this, you probably want to apply/merge your changes in both the 6.0 and trunk branches of extra-addons:

Title:
  [Extra-addons]smtpclient attachment mimetype hardcoded

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  OpenERP 6.0.3 on Ubuntu 10.04
  I am using smtpclient to send emails  with attached pdf reports generated by jasper_reports. The plan is to automatically send these reports by use of the scheduler. I successfully receive the emails with attached report but I cannot open the pdf in Thunderbird because the mimetype is set to application/octet-stream. This is hardcoded in smtpclient.
  The octet-stream opening problem is a well-known and long-standing 'feature' of Thunderbird, I don't know if other MUAs suffer from it too but ultimately the fault lies with the generating program as (I believe) the email RFCs require the mimetype to properly describe the attachment.
  At present you just pass a list of filenames as the attachment parameter to send_email(). I think it should be changed to allow a list of dicts something like this: [{'filename': '/tmp/file', 'maintype':'application', 'subtype': 'pdf'}, {...}] with application/octet-stream as the fallback.
