  • I'm experiencing a problem - initially with V 1.0.0 but also after upgrading to V 1.0.2.  The issue is if the email contains an attachment which is itself an outlook .msg file.  Other attachments are fine, just the .msg attachment

    Hi, ,

    Due to strict confidentiality reasons Production data can not be passed outside the organisation.  However the issue is reproducible in the Development environment (below).  In Production the parent email has the following attachments:

    2 Excel spreadsheets

    8 Microsft Word documents

    1 Microsoft Outlook .msg 

    This issue here is the following code returns null.  As I have said any other attachment work fine ( so long as there is not a .msg file as well).  In the Production isse 

    readoutlookmsgfile(
  outlookMsgFileDocs: {32180},
  folderToSaveAttachements: cons!PRO_COM_DOCUMENT_MANAGEMENT_STAGING_FOLDER,
  bodyType: "text",
  readAttachedOutlookMsgs: false(),
  readAttachments: true()
)

    The Doc Id is 32180 and is a .msg file that has an imbedded .msg file

    Test imbedded emails ( Parent ).msg

    At this point in time I don't have access to Tomcat logs, but will try to obtain shortly.
