some of email attachments could not be openned, for first i thought that is about wild characters or extra long filenames, but no, still nothing after file rename then check file perms - all ok

finaly, surprising sadly discovery - attachment it stored in base64 as it was in original email :( thats why it could not read the file

edit retag flag offensive close delete

@pan tau - What was the file type ? Was this a inline attachment or normal attachment ?

@pan tau - Nothing wrong there, can you reproduce ? for example if you delete the attachment from disk, reopen email app and download it again from the email ?
