    I am getting content type error of unsupported data type exception while trying to Create Eml file, either way when providing attachment or not. Not sure if the plugin is supported, am using for version 20.2. The error do not change even if I change the content type to blank multipart or else. It seems it always use multipart/mixed type and doesn't support it. 

    Can you pls suggest? Error below:

    javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type multipart/mixed;
