The attachment.dat file is in fact normal e-mail in the source form (headers, empty line, body).
$ file attachment.dat attachment.dat: MIME entity text The only difference from RFC2821 definition I can spot is the line endings. There should be Dos/Windows style CRLF line endings, as per RFC2821, but in the attachent.dat contains Unix-style LF line endings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416578 Title: evolution doesn't display attached messages Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: evolution 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
