Description Kevin J. Miller 2002-06-04 01:41:00 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.4.1 (using KDE 3.0.0 -10)
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Red Hat Linux 7.2.93
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-4smp
OS/Compiler notes: 

I received a mime message from Eudora with the following structure:

multipart/mixed
  multipart/alt
    plain text message
    HTML version
  PDF attachment
  PDF attachment

Nothing appeared in the message display.  I had the sender resend the message but this time I captured it with fetchmail.  The message was formatted correctly with different boundary strings.  The boundary string for the "alt" part just had ".ALT" appended.  When I looked at the mail spool file the ".ALT" text had been stripped so all the boundary strings were identical.

Are you sure that the structure is not:

multipart/mixed
multipart/alt
  plain text message
  HTML version
PDF attachment
PDF attachment

With an "multipart/mixed" that doesn't contain parts.
There is a to me known bug in Eudora that produces such broken format.

When I checked the message in the KMail folder it was incorrectly formatted 
as you have stated so I first thought it was a Eudora bug.  However when I 
got the mail from the pop server using fetchmail it was formatted correctly 
(see attached "fetchmail").  When I used KMail to fetch the same message 
what I found in the folder (see attached "folder") was corrupt.  I first ran 
fetchmail with the option to leave the message on the server so I know that 
I got the same message with both fetchmail and KMail.  I'm guessing that the 
problem is in the KMail code that fetches and sorts the messages.

Comment 3 Dave Banks 2002-12-03 22:22:43 UTC
I am having the same problem and what seams odd to me is that something is
altering the source of the message. Viewing the message source the structure
of the email is...

...
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
  boundary="=====================_5214437==_"


--=====================_5214437==_
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
	boundary="=====================_5214437==_.ALT"


--=====================_5214437==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Text Content...
--=====================_5214437==_
Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii"

HTML Content...
--=====================_5214437==_

--=====================_5214437==_
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Helpdesk outline1.xls";
 x-mac-type="584C5334"; x-mac-creator="5843454C"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Helpdesk outline1.xls"

The attatchment
--=====================_5214437==_--



The boundary after the HTML message should have had .ALT-- after it
and when I view the source from the Mozilla mail reader it does. Is this
a broken format or is kmail breaking it? Or maybe Mozilla mail is fixing it?
