Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/d99kris/nmail/issues/89

Originally assigned to: @d99kris on GitHub.

I sent an email with a .docx attachment to two recipients and later realized when viewing my Sent folder that the message contained no attachment (the + symbol was really helpful to spot that!). I first thought that I just forgot so I sent another mail, double checking the attachment, same issue.

I then checked sending the email to myself with the built-in file picker to see if the issue would be there, but still the same symptoms. I usually have no issue sending .docx files, I'm not sure what is the issue with that one. I have read permissions on it.

I'm sending you the three corresponding .eml files by email, in hope you would see something obvious. I have no verbose logs available but could do additional testing if necessary since this attachment seems to fail all the time (using the webmail, I could send it with no issue though).

Hi, thanks for sharing the eml files. Unfortunately I don't see anything obvious in them, but I'm thinking maybe there's something with the file that nmail doesn't handle (and silently skips it). Assuming the file could be shared with me, would you mind sending it to me (using webmail)?

If the file cannot be shared perhaps you can share the filename, full local path and size? Perhaps it's something with the filename that nmail doesn't handle well.

Thanks!

Some fixes related to this, in particular filepaths containing comma (but also possibly other non-ASCII chars) have been committed. Please re-open this issue if you are still encountering some issues. Thanks!
