Like everything, its complicated.
|
|
|
|
We attempted to roll out a fix for this a year ago, and it even fixed some
|
|
other random bugs in completely unrelated code.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, it also broke some fairly important backend handling of
|
|
messages that were previously parsed with the incorrect parser as it
|
|
changed our understanding of the structure of the message. Enabling our
|
|
system to handle these types of changes is very complicated, and the work
|
|
is still ongoing. I don't have an ETA on when we'll be able to switch to
|
|
the correct parsing.
|
|
|
|
The exact bug was that we didn't parse message/rfc822 attachments if they
|
|
had a Content-Disposition: header of value attached. This was an
|
|
unfortunate and wrong fix to a bug in the early days of Gmail where people
|
|
would want to attach entire email messages (.eml files) and forward them
|
|
and otherwise handle them as an "attachment" and not a sub-part of the
|
|
message.
