Whilst I am all good with every other part of the email system, everything else seems fine, I can see view the avi file in my Thunderbird email client on Linux, I can't view the avi file on my iPhone.

[Solved]Email notification include mpeg video rather than avi
What settings need tweaking such that emails are sent with mpeg video files rather than avi?

Re: Email notification include mpeg video rather than avi
Ok, I have found the settings to change from avi to mpg (not mpeg, as my browser thinks it's audio)
Options -> Images -> FFMPEG_FORMATS = mpg* mpeg wmv asf avi mov** swf 3gp
Also, the message that is sent, I found a few of the %XXX% fields don't work.
(I copied/pasted the entire list from the doco and then tweaked it into a HTML table)
The following 'fields' seem to generate no data, when the email is generated by my filter.

Re: Email notification include mpeg video rather than avi
Thanks for noticing and reporting! Fixed in master, will be in 1.36.11.
Re: Email notification include mpeg video rather than avi
Found correct settings for iPhone to view video as an email attachment.
Options -> Images -> FFMPEG_FORMATS = m4v* mpeg wmv asf avi mov** swf 3gp
Given ffmpeg is awesome and knows just about every media file suffix there is, I thought I would try m4v, and it works, for my iPhone and for my linux system.
