Same thing happens in a custom live build with evolution-data-server-3.12.6-1.fc21.x86_64 evolution-3.12.6-1.fc21.x86_64 . Thanks for a bug report. I checked the message source and as far as I can tell, evolution does it correctly. The thing is that the message source, the one which is shown with an "missing image" icon, references the attached pdf file as that image, which is not correct. And as the text body and the PDF are in multipart/related, which means that that they belong together, then the PDF file is not shown in UI of evolution as a real attachment. Maybe Apple Mail handles this differently, but it at least feels wrong to see the PDF referenced as an image. Right-clicking the "missing image" icon and choosing "Save image..." offers the PDF file and after I save it I can open it and see its content. Due to this I do not think it's evolution to be blamed. |
Created attachment 941887 [details] Berkely mail folder Description of problem: Can't read an attachment nested in an attachment Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-3.8.5-2.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Import the attached Berkely mbox folder and try to display the PDF attachment Actual results: Inactive icon Expected results: Should be able to read the PDF. Ideally, evolution should display the nested structure. Additional info: I have edited the header to protect personal information. The PDF is a press release, so there's no problem posting that.
