Dear all,

I don't know if anyone encountered this, but I received an internet email from someone with 3 attachments, but for some reason, when I try to individually download the attachments, Synchronet can only detect the first 2.

When I do download the entire message, I can download the entire e-mail with full headers and all 3 attachments in MIME format, though I did notice that the 3rd attachment was encoded as plain text attachment.

I'm pasting the MIME headers without the actual content:

--MP_/Q9PlwTNTq2E+0Z=NjalYpkC
Content-Type: application/winhlp
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=areafix.hlp

--MP_/Q9PlwTNTq2E+0Z=NjalYpkC
Content-Type: application/winhlp
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filefix.hlp

--MP_/Q9PlwTNTq2E+0Z=NjalYpkC
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=terry-file.txt

When I download the Internet mail, it asks me to download areafix.hlp and filefix.hlp, but it skips terry-file.txt.

I'm willing to give more information or to help troubleshoot this.

I'm using Synchronet v3.20d.

Thanks!

I'm willing to give more information or to help troubleshoot this.

You can send or forward the email (with the 3 attachments) to rob {at} synchro {dot} net or create an issue at gitlab.synchro.net and attach the email message to the issue and I'll take a look-see.
