Title: open an email attachment
Post by: Fcasoli on June 15, 2014, 01:25:38 am

Hi Kostya,

I have this problem,

I sent one email from my PC with two files, Excel and email.

If I try to open attached docs using Aquamail, I cannot read included email, I must use Gmail or native (Samsung) client.

See my screenshots for reference.

I would like to use Aquamail also for this rare situation..

thanks

 I agree,  and it will be still better like we say in India {scent added on gold}  if aquamail offers facility to add old mail as an attachment ( perhaps this can be made possible is aquamail offeres to move an email in another folder even in pop,  and we can then attach the folder item (mail DROID)  has similar stuff if I remember correctly

Yes, Aqua doesn't open .eml's, but -- it shows their content directly in the message, including text inside the .eml and "attachments inside .eml attachments".

There was a bug where the "text from the .eml" could be lost, if you tried to open the .eml as an attachments -- I just fixed this last night, so please try again with a new build.

BTW, same goes for winmail.dat attachments -- their content shows right inside the message, so you don't need to use a separate "winmail.dat extractor" type app...

About folders for POP3 -- hasn't this been discussed before?

I do not have the content of the attached message visible in text format

Folder for pop has been discussed before, this time I mentioned from different perspective, if without folder I can attach past mail directly as an attachment,who cares about folders

@Fcasoli - if you downloaded those .eml attachments as attachments, the "merged" text is already lost, and won't return.

Can you try a new message with an ".eml" attachment, and let me know if you see the merged text?

Looks like this:

Quote

This is some new text added while forwarding the .eml

--------
From: original sender
Date: original date
Subject:  original subject

This is text from inside the .eml

( making pictures with text, lame, I know )

Yes, I can read text and well formatted as second part in bottom screen, if the email attached is more than one, for example two, areboth visualized as text?
Is your intention to develop perfect integration with Outlook features to add email as attached file (copy and paste) and to open?

thanks

If there is more than one .eml attachment, the text for both should show -- also attachments inside those .eml's will be pulled out into the attachment pane.

Don't know if I'll be able to compete with Microsoft -- I hear they have a lot of developers / managers, and plenty of money to pay them...

But I thought being able to view attached .eml's, as simple as possible, was a worthwhile goal (also winmail.dat attachments -- a continuous source of pain when mixing Outlook / non-Outlook mail apps... except Aqua).

I think my real competition is the new generation of mail apps for Android (seems there is a new one every week), like My Mail, Fluent Mail, Cloud Magic, etc.
