Empty message body

[rcubetrac]

Reported by zamri on 12 Oct 2012 03:24 UTC as Trac ticket #1488750

RC doesn't show the message body correctly. Gmail can show it correctly and in the source, I can see there is texts for the body.

I attached the .eml file for testing.

Keywords: empty,body

The message contains multipart/alternative subpart with text/plain and text/html part. As you can see in the source text/html part is empty. I suppose we could try to workaround such situations and use text/plain. You should be able to see this message when you disable html.

Ok I got it. I've tested it by editing rcube_message.php with your fix:

// skip empty parts
if (!$sub_part->size)
continue;

Although the formatting is text-only but at least this workaround works.

Thx alec.

I got a complaint from a user that she got an empty message after I applied the fix. here I attached the source beginning with the content-type:

Please, attach complete message source because this doesn't look valid.

Forget above incomplete source. See attachment. I have opened it in Thunderbird and it contains no text message but 1 gif image as an attachment. In RC, I dont see any attachment.

Ok. This is another case. The message is obviously malformed and we can assume that HTML part body is empty. Then we have an inline image related to HTML part. So, it is questionable if we should display it on the attachments list. For now, we decided to not display it, but you can open another ticket for this specific request. This is not a bug but designed behaviour.
