Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Some mail user agent (Microsoft Outlook as an example) send emails with
no text and just an attachment as an e-mail whose content is only the
file - i.e. there is no multipart MIME wrapper. Evolution displays such
emails as a message with no text and a single attachment - which is
fine.
If I try to forward such e-mail, using inline forwarding or quoted
forwarding, the forwarded message does not include the attachment. The
only way to forward the file is by either forwarding the email as an
attachment - creating a message digest that some mail user agents have
problems with, or saving the file and reattaching it to the new email.
