Email attachment garbled
« on: March 11, 2014, 10:58:25 AM »
Hi
I am running SME server 8.1 and it seems that I am experiencing a rather old bug:

http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4206

where some email attachment are displayed as garbled text on the email clients.
I do not quite understand the status of the bug, should I
1) disable the tnef2mime plugin
2) patch it as suggested in the comments
3) wait for a proper fix from developers
4) open a new bug report

Thanks for your help

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.

None of the above - you should add a note to the pre-existing bug, adding your information that the problem still exists and is causing a problem for you. Then you should apply the patch in comment 7.
