Add a method to use an alternative file extension for reports #66

Open dplmr opened 1 month ago

When reporting spam, it creates an attachment of the original email called "message.eml". Can you please add a feature to use an alternative file extension to eml? I would choose message.txt.

This is because, attachments as .eml files are banned by some email providers. I get a bounce message that explains:

This message has been rejected because it has a potentially executable attachment "message.eml" This form of attachment has been used by recent viruses or other malware. If you meant to send this file then please package it up as a zip file and resend it.

As a workaround, in the meantime, I have manually replaced instances of ".eml" with ".txt" in src/scripts/background.js.
