Set up a JavaScript rule - you should be able to access and change the mimetype via document.properties.content.mimetype

Thnaks Martin for your answer. I'm no professional java developer. Can you perhaps explain a little more detailed how to do this or link on the applicable documentation of the functionality? I'm willing to self teach me the knowledge but I need to get a suitable starting point to learn and to try.

Hi Thomas,

I think you are already familiar with creating a rule - just use a "execute script" as action for your rule.
You can create/upload the script (Javascriptfile) in the "Data Dictionary/Scripts" Folder (before creating the rule).

In your script there should be a line like

document.properties.content.mimetype="text/html"

document is the global scope object that has triggered your rule (the html Attachment in your case)
