mapi forward as attachment broken -- forwarded email is truncated
Last modified: 2010-11-03 15:47:15 UTC
Request that someone confirm this as not just on my box.. Evo git head 2010-10-22 If i configure evo using mapi to forward emails as an attachment, forwarded emails get truncated and appear as attachment.dat. EX: created the following email ---begin--- From: Reid Thompson <Reid.Thompson@ateb.com> Reply-to: Reid Thompson <Reid.Thompson@ateb.com> To: Reid.Thompson <Reid.Thompson@ateb.com> Cc: Reid.Thompson <Reid.Thompson@ateb.com> Subject: attachment test - initial email to be forwarded Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 10:42:27 -0400 attachment test - initial email to be forwarded thanks, reid ---end--- sent it, and received it as expected. I then forwarded it to myself. Upon receipt I get the following headers, with an attachment.dat file ---begin--- From: Reid Thompson <Reid.Thompson@ateb.com> Reply-to: Reid Thompson <Reid.Thompson@ateb.com> To: Reid.Thompson <Reid.Thompson@ateb.com> Cc: Reid.Thompson <Reid.Thompson@ateb.com> Subject: [Fwd: attachment test - initial email to be forwarded] Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 10:42:50 -0400 email message attachment ---end-- If I expand the 'show attachment inline' using the button, I see nothing. If I view the attachment using gvim I see: ---begin--- Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 10:43:03 -0400 Subject: No Subject Message-ID: <1287758583.32323.22.camel@raker.ateb.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 From: ---end---
I confirm that The forwarding was working several weeks ago, but the several latest git pulls, make it to truncate.... Strange is (or may be not): When forwarding, if look at the attachment in composing it looks good, but when send it, then both in sent items, and in receiver inbox, is truncated.
Confirming. It's broken with 2.32.0 too (on receiving, where I suspect is the problem).
Hmm, I'm wrong, this is with message creating, because when I send a forwarded message as attachment from outlook, then evolution-mapi decodes it properly. I do not know how this cold work "several weeks ago". This was reported in May, thus I'm marking this as a duplicate of the older bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 618514 ***
Milan Crha, As i have the feeling, there is some misunderstanding Please try following. 1. Compose new message 2. Drag in to it some other message 3. View (with whatever You want), the prepared attachment 4 [details]. send it 5. From the sent messages, open just sent message, 6. View (with whatever You want) the attachment difference between 3. and 6. is the stripped content Same behavior is if You forward message (when composing, everything is ok), after send, the attachment is stripped so just the headers* are there example of headers: Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2010 14:44:33 +0200 Subject: No Subject Message-ID: <1288788273.3853.5.camel@sf-july-6710b> Mime-Version: 1.0 From: And yes, forwarding of messages (including drag and drop was working several weeks ago:) regarding bug 618514 yes, the attachment is *.eml file, view inline seems working (having in mind, that the eml file is stripped)
update... just checked the receiver side of the 2 examples above... seems ok (att...eml is attached and contain all the information) but, in my sent folder, the attachment is (almost empty, just the headers) and is named attachment.dat
It seems to me like the same thing, thus I marked it a duplicate. Of course, I can be wrong.
