The attachment.dat file is in fact normal e-mail in the source form (headers, empty line, body).
$ file attachment.dat attachment.dat: MIME entity text The only difference from RFC2821 definition I can spot is the line endings. There should be Dos/Windows style CRLF line endings, as per RFC2821, but in the attachent.dat contains Unix-style LF line endings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416578 Title: evolution doesn't display attached messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/416578/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
