[Evolution] Evolution and PDF attachments behavior

[Marc Defossez <marc defossez gmail com>]

Hi,

I switched from Thunderbird to Evolution (Ubuntu 16.04 - Evolution 3.18.5.2).

It works great and just does what I need but not when PDFs are attached to mail.

This happens:

- The PDFs that came over from all converted Thunderbird mail folder work  (the PDF is attached and can be saved or shown with a PDF reader).

- Receiving mail with PDF attachment from somebody works (the PDF is attached and can be saved or shown with a PDF reader).

- When I send a message to myself (gmail /IMAP) with PDF attachment and:

- Open it on my phone the message shows the PDF as attachment and I can open it.

- After opening it on my phone open it in Evolution, inbox, it shows a PDF attachment and I can read it.

  - When I send a message to myself (gmail /IMAP) with PDF attachment and:

- View the mail when it arrives after a couple of seconds in Evolution, there is no attachment (Evolution does not show the attachment icon).

- When I open the mail the message text is not displayed but I get something like this: --=-j24mMlS90KBqBPE8CB7c--

- When I open the mail on my phone I get text message text and a PDF as attachment.

Short:

When I send myself a mail, gmail, with PDF attachment, Evolution loses the mail text and PDF attachment and replaces everything with garbage.

Has somebody seen this?

Is there a solution?

Hints?

many thanks in advance,

Marc
