Hi Tony,

 We have both made our points, the decision is now with Ritlabs. And
 then ultimately, with their paying customers and *their* priorities
 with reading emails and viewing attachments.

 Funny  how  one's priorities change. 

 I am getting a contact form by email from a website coded in India. I
 have just complained that the form comes across in a UUE block and
 they say it works fine in Outlook and why do I use an email client
 that doesn't display correctly? It's a bit embarrassing, really.

I got that question many times.

When  I  talked  with a Chinese about the program (he liked it) and we
got  to non OS characters filtering problem (not going to tell the guy
it's  cool  and  have him call me in a week asking 'How the hell can I
filter or search over  Chinese?') he decided not even give TB! a try.

He  was  using  notebook  from  US  with  English OS, so filtering on
Chinese  language  is not working at all (other languages are affected
as well).

I use TB! and like it but I can't take a risk of recommending it.
After  a problem with TBK import to v4 (TBK made with v4) I run into I
need to dig deeper on that before I recommend v4 as well.

Maybe after we get to 5.9 it's gonna be perfect :)
Will see :)

Just out of curiosity I did a little test of my own.

- In Forte Agent I saved the offending message in Unix Mailbox format.
The relevant parts of this message are these: 

Header:

|MIME-Version: 1.0
|Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
|Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Body:

|begin 644 thebat_error_20110430.gif

|end
|
|
| Current beta is 5.0.9.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information:

This means the .gif file is part of the message BODY and is NOT an
attachment.

- I started the latest Alfa/Beta/Release/Whatever version of TB!
(5.0.12.1) and imported the message (Tools - Import Messages - From
Unix-mailboxes.)

It displays fine but now the message looks like this:

Header:

|MIME-Version: 1.0

This means the .gif file now is an attachment.

For clarity: this also means TB! is not just simply importing messages
but modifies them while importing. I am not quite sure if it should be
allowed to do that.

Another strange thing happened when I saved the message from TB! in
Unix Mailbox format. There are two methods:
1) File - Save as...
2) Tools - Export message to - Unix mailbox

Both methods save a file with extension .mbox, even if I try to
override it by putting an extension like .txt at the end of the name.
What's also weird is that I cannot change the name of the file while
TB! is still active. I have to close TB! in order to rename the file.
It looks like, one way or another, TB! keeps the saved file in memory
instead of releasing it, like it should do (imho, of course...)

I think TB may have lost the ability to decode inline UUE in the

importer. As for why some can and some can't see the attachment
correctly in V5, I'd say the lucky few who can are downwind of an
MTA (mail server) that does the conversion en-route. In other
words, news style UUE message body encoding is not acceptable in the
RFC for email in transit, so these servers take it upon themselves

Raymund resent me the original post by Gene. I forwarded it to myself and received it correctly.

To do this I modified my courier configuration. If you are are using Debian or one of it's derivatives (Ubuntu for example) then edit /etc/courier/esmtpd and edit /etc/courier/esmtpd-ssl, add the following lines, other distributions will have to read the documentation:

BOFHBADMIME=accept
MIME=none

MIME=none is actually implicit in the BOFHBADMIME=accept, but just to make it complete...

Can others confirm that this works?

Regards.

This message came in using Forte agent via the GMane feed for this

MP Aye - there's the rub!

MP This message came in using Forte agent via the GMane feed for this
MP list. A double whammy by any definition. And there is nothing in the
MP header to indicate that any data here should be interpreted as a
MP graphic image type.

MP I think it's about the attachment being in News format instead of
MP MIME email encapsulation.

The attachment was in UUENCODE format, which TBv4 interprets
correctly.

Hello Simon,

 I see this as just the uuencoded data. However this is what I would
 expect as there are no MIME headers in this mail, so any MUA should
 just show it as plain text. I have tried on 3 different MUA to confirm.

Me too. Thanks for the confirmation Simon. I guess this is another
example of Outlook taking a tolerant view of the structure of the
messages. I believe in the old days that the inline uuencoded block
was an acceptable attachment. Certainly before MIME.

I do see this a lot from various senders so it would be great if TB
could handle this ONE DAY. I understand there are a lot more important
issues for now.

Gene, was this actually produced buy TB?

You should try TB!v4.x. I see his message and an attachment called
thebat_error_20110430.gif. That attachment also creates a tab, which I
can click on and see the gif.

Two images attached, I hope they come through.

The images came through.

I just tested Gene's mail using Windows Live Mail and I see the image. As Tony said, some MUA are more forgiving, from what you say, TB!4.x is more forgiving as well.

Is this a bug or a feature though?

I wouldn't want to distract the devs from the more pressing issues:
Filters and virtual folders - for me at least. 

The Sizes Differ!! exception is most annoying and I'm sure is
contributing to the above two.
