[Bug 416578] Re: evolution doesn't display attached messages

 

The attachment.dat file is in fact normal e-mail in the source form
(headers, empty line, body).

$ file attachment.dat 
attachment.dat: MIME entity text

The only difference from RFC2821 definition I can spot is the line
endings. There should be Dos/Windows style CRLF line endings, as per
RFC2821, but in the attachent.dat contains Unix-style LF line endings.

Title:
  evolution doesn't display attached messages

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:	9.04
  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
  evolution:
    Installed: 2.26.1-0ubuntu2
    Candidate: 2.26.1-0ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 2.26.1-0ubuntu2 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       2.26.1-0ubuntu1 0

  3) What you expected to happen
  On most attached emails, evolution automatically displays the attached emails. On this occasion, I only see the attached files as .dat files. When I try to open them, they only have the headers, not the text.
  4) What happened instead
   When I try to open the attached files in a text editor, they only have the headers, not the text.
