attachments not sent through email provider for fes message

[tomholub]

1. send message on enterprise account from browser extension through the web portal, with attachments
2. navigate to sent message in sent folder

actual: attachments not rendering

expected: sent attachments to show

Before implementing the fix, I'd like the issue just investigated. How are the attachments encoded? Is it pgp/mime? Or some other method?

[tomholub]

I highly suspect the encrypted message that browser extension downloads from FES when it renders/decrypts it actually contains pgp/mime encoded attachments in it, but we are just not rendering them.

FES is rendering them when you open the message there.

Therefore the fix should be to evaluate the received message. Start by sending a 1M message and see if you download back > 1M of data when browser extension is rendering. If yes, the attachment is in there.

I see. Yes, I suppose so.

What is the size of these two attachments when you sent a 1MB attachment?

[tomholub]

let's postpone this. please move to discussion milestone. title should be "attachments not sent through email provider for fes message"

[tomholub]

possibly blocking issue #2538 - need to evaluate attachment encoding bloat before adding attachments to more types of messages
