Ping ??? I've done some investigation into this, but don't have a solution yet; here's the current status: I believe you're running Evolution 1.4.5, and the relevant code in that version has a special-case for handling text attachments (specifically, in function add_attachments_handle_mime_part in the source file composer/e-msg-composer.c). For some reason it opts to throw away text attachments at that stage of the process. I plan to dig deeper and determine whether this is a logic error or a workaround for a deeper problem. So how is this bug going? Any progress in the past 5 months?? I was able to reproduce this problem in the latest Evolution release (2.9.4). This upstream bug report describes a similar problem in 2.8: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387047 Since this bug was never proposed for RHEL-3, I'm closing it here and will continue to track the problem in the upstream bug report. |
Description of problem: When forwarding inline, text attachments do not get sent, while other non-text attachments do This is clearly a bug Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): stock evolution in RHEL3 with all updates How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change forwarding preferences to "inline" 2. have someone send you an email with a text attachment 3 [details]. foward it back to them... or even yourself Actual results: The text attachment doesn't make it Expected results: The text attachment should make it through just like non-text attachments
