Description

I have some e-mails in my inbox that have attachments, but there is no paperclip icon next to some of them. For one e-mail I don't even see the attachment, so it's totally inaccessible. Another e-mail doesn't have an attachment, but the paperclip is there.

What information do you need to fix this?

  • Milestone changed from 0.5.1 to 0.6-beta
  • Severity changed from major to minor

We need these mails. Save the messages as .eml files and attach them here.

The e-mails contain data that does not belong into the public. Where can I send you the messages so that they can be processed privately by the developers?

You can send it to me (alec at alec.pl) or just clean sesitive information from the message body.

Attaching files to this bug fails with a Trac error that tells me I'm spamming. I'm sending you the files directly. The eml files are somewhat cleaned. The e-mail addresses in them are minimised and the base64 encoding of the attachments may be broken.

You've sent me 3 messages:

  1. [fc-ER] franken tipp: which is displayed correctly.
  2. Interessanter Vortrag (fwd): problem with upper case letters in content-type. Fixed in [62481f34].
  3. WG: Leserbriefe vom 24. Januar 2011: This one has wrong format. Contains pdf attachment as related part

    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

I'll check if we can fix this too.

comment:6 follow-up: Changed 2 years ago by LonelyPixel

The first message has a paperclip icon displayed in the message list, but there is no attachment listed. Do you know where it comes from?

The last one with multipart/related comes from "Microsoft Outlook 12". It may be that Microsoft has once again its own interpretation of MIME, but I think this is a pretty common mail client so its mails should be readable again. After reading en.wikipedia about multipart/related, I don't see why such parts should not be listed.

I can confirm that the change in [62481f34] works for me.

Replying to LonelyPixel:

There's a text/plain attachment so it's displayed under the message body.

The last one with multipart/related comes from "Microsoft Outlook 12". It may be that Microsoft has once again its own interpretation of MIME, but I think this is a pretty common mail client so its mails should be readable again. After reading en.wikipedia about multipart/related, I don't see why such parts should not be listed.

Fixed in [02b6e614]. For performance reasons attachment image will be not displayed on messages list.
