Greetings,
I'm using Sylpheed 3.7.0 on my Linux box. I've encountered an issue that
seems to have existed for some time (since at least version 3.4.1).
If I send an email with attachments to myself (or as a CC), I can see a
list of all the attachments at the top of the email (just below the
headers). However, sometimes when someone else sends me email, I only see
one attachment listed below the headers (in the example I have, it is the
*second* attachment), but if I scroll down through the entire
email/attachments I find that there actually are several of them
(e.g., 3).
Needless to say, this behavior can cause me to miss an attachment.
I want to always see all attachments listed just below the headers.
If I forward the problematic message to another account using Sylpheed
and then view it, I still see only one message listed under the headers.
However, when I forwarded it, Sylpheed did indicate that there were in
fact three attachments.
There isn't any email client mentioned in the headers of the problematic
example email I have, so I don't know the name of the email client that
produced the message that demonstrates the problem.
Looking at the email sources, my Sylpheed-created attachments (which are
listed just fine) look something like this:
--Multipart=_Fri__13_Jul_2018_09_11_01_-0400_V4Yg_VxV1mWYECu_
Content-Type: application/x-tex;
name="color_issue.tex"
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="color_issue.tex"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
CiUgQSB0ZXN0IG9mIHRoZSBjb2xvciBwYWN...
while for the problematic email, they are like this:
--_006_121fa806031c427a8a64b3ddb9e61454foise_
Content-Type: text/x-tex; name="color_issue.tex"
Content-Description: color_issue.tex
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="color_issue.tex"; size=54664;
creation-date="Tue, 03 Jul 2018 13:28:56 GMT";
modification-date="Tue, 03 Jul 2018 13:28:56 GMT"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
CiUgQSB0ZXN0IG9mIHRoZSBjb2xvciBwYW...
Has anyone else encountered this problem before?
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Mike Shell
