Does TB 38.3 support emails from Apple IOS with imbedded images?
I received an email from someone who is using an Apply device and TB does not display the embedded image, just the frame. The image appears to me to be in MIME protocol and BASE64. Does TB 38.3 support this?
When I look at the message source it shows:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="Apple-Mail....." Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 8.2 \(2104\))
further into the message source I see:
--Apple-Mail=_026D45DB-9F4F-4BB2-A940-43B342AD09FC Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="the filename?.jpeg" Content-Type: image/jpeg;
name="the filename?.jpeg"
Content-Id: <87CFCF64-823A-4A6A-9A2C-6E728947B41A>
followed by the base64 representation of the image and then two final MIME brackets from Apple Mail.

Mime and Base 64 are absolutely standard parts of email and yes Thunderbird knows about them. IMHO it's what Apple's email products do with them that is the issue here. I've had several bad experiences with messages sent by Apple users. Apple don't seem to see a need to be compatible or consistent with existing standards.

So, do you have any idea what MIME rule Apple has broken here? Can I edit the message to fix it so I can send it to myself and get TB to correctly decode the Base64 image?
Is there really a question mark in the image's file name?
Sorry, have been away for awhile.
Yes, there really is a ? in the filename in the MIME segment: --Apple-Mail=_026D45DB-9F4F-4BB2-A940-43B342AD09FC Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Paul Barsevskis and ? at CSG:STM?.jpeg" Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="Paul Barsevskis and ? at CSG:STM?.jpeg" Content-Id: <87CFCF64-823A-4A6A-9A2C-6E728947B41A>
I guess I was being too careful with personal details from the sender.
The Base64 code follows the above Content-Id line after a blank line. Below the Base64 code I have: --Apple-Mail=_026D45DB-9F4F-4BB2-A940-43B342AD09FC--
--Apple-Mail=_CEA13DDC-0815-41F2-84E6-D3796F59C5D0-- without a blank line immediately preceding the first --Apple-Mail line. It appears to me I am missing a closing --Apple-Mail line that has the same id as the one that preceding the Base64 code. My assumption is that they are suppose to bracket the Mime content itself.
just try removing the ? in the file name.
