I have received an email with:

Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

(here's the entire email, censored a tiny bit, I can send the original to Jolla people if needed: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=90Af9qLF)

And it shows up in the mail client as: garbled content

I have received several other emails with same charset/encoding, but without attachments, and they show up fine.

I can confirm that your mail is readable by at least my MUA (KMail). Not the attachment of course as you snipped that :)

@Tanghus I have been able to view it in other mail clients as well, just not on Jolla. I thought it could have been a download issue (only partially received), but when I forward it from the phone, the text shows up okay

I have the same issue with email encoded the same way (multipart, text/html in UTF-8 and PDF attachment). It displayed normally in Gmail web interface, but not on Jolla. Additionally, I can't open attachment -- when I click it, it's saved to subfolder of /Downloads/mail_attachments with .pdf.bin ext

same for me

Yes I can confirm this behavior. It's HTML email only with binary attachment. I have seen this occurring only on emails containing PDF invoices from my ISP provider.

I can still see this happening on Saapunki. I had a message in inbox that had this problem, and it still has this problem with Saapunki.Adding content type definitions as an example (some parts cut because of space limitation). I can share the message if needed, please let me know how to proceed. And if that matters this mail has a .pdf document attached to it.
