Unable to display e-mail attachment (.csv file) in mailslurper about mailslurper HOT 3 CLOSED

So I created a test with a basic CSV file (see attachment below) and sent it as a type text/csv attachment and everything went through fine. Can you perhaps attach a sample or describe what might be special about the CSV or mail sending process? Please ensure there is no divulge any sensitive personal or corporate information.

Ok, after investigating the issue with you I see the following issues that I will work to correct.

• The content type of this CSV attachment was application/octet-stream. This is a problem with the sender, but should not necessarily be a show stopper for MailSlurper
• The attachment controller in the service is attempting to Base64 decode the attachment, regardless of if the attachment is actually base64 encoded or not. This is a bug in MailSlurper

I will work to address this bug. For the base64 encoding question, since I cannot rely on the content type, I will use the following to determine if I should attempt a decode or not.

• Check if the content length is a multple of 4 (length % 4 == 0)
• Validate against a regex like this for base64 allowed characters: ^[A-Za-z0-9+/=]+\Z

Thank you so much for the prompt response and resolution.
