Emails with no body insert attachment as text. about email HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @krolaw, thanks for trying out the library! Could you please expand a bit on this? I'm not sure what issue it is you're encountering.

From what I can see, it looks like you're creating an email with no body, only attaching a file. Then, after encoding is performed, the base64 encoding is actually interpreted as the email body text?

from email.

100% correct. Adding a single carriage return to content gets around the issue.

from email.

@krolaw Which server generates above email content?

Here's an example from postfix:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
 boundary="------------364886E9732896FFFA961C46"
Content-Language: en-US

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--------------364886E9732896FFFA961C46
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit



--------------364886E9732896FFFA961C46
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8;
 name="test.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
 filename="test.txt"

MQo=
--------------364886E9732896FFFA961C46--

and it's parsed correctly after #89

from email.

I don't believe it was from any server. Possibly output from the library itself, but don't quote me, it was over 5 years ago. I'm betting the issue has long been fixed, so I'm closing it now.
