Hi all, 

I've two questions regarding the mail sampler: 

    1. Is it possible to have JMeter decode multi-part messages? 
    2. Is it possible to have JMeter force UTF-8 encoding when 
reading/displaying the mail 

As part of my tests I'm using my product to send emails and using JMeter to 
confirm that the emails arrive and contain the correct information. However 
I've found that when I use UTF-8 characters in the mail subject, it appears 
scrambled in JMeters View results tree listener and assertions against the 
value fail. Using several mail clients (thunderbird, etc.), the mail appears 
fine in terms of character encoding. Can JMeter handle UTF-8 chars in emails? 

The emails I've sent have a message bady and attachment, though when the mail 
is sampled in JMeter it shows up as: 

Multipart. Count: 2 Type: multipart/ALTERNATIVE; 
boundary="----=_Part_60_10050345.1266233578389" 
javax.mail.internet.mimemultip...@1852958 Type: IMAGE/JPEG; 
name=6149b5b039ac499baeaf70a02d1d7a37.jpg 
com.sun.mail.util.base64decoderstr...@15d585d 
I can assert on the attachment, but the message body is not displayed. Is it 
possible for JMeter to decode multi-part message by, e.g. a parameter? 

Regards, 
Noel
