Iconv Exception

[darit]

Hello,
I get the attachments from the mailbox's unread messages using $attachment->getDecodedContent() and I'm having some trouble with them. They are UTF-8 XML. The transcode method is causing an Exception on iconv function saying it has an illegal character.
https://github.com/ddeboer/imap/blob/master/src/Message/Part.php#L185-L188
I just changed this to:
https://github.com/darit/imap/blob/master/src/Message/Part.php#L185-L189
This change works fine for me.

I am having the same problem, specially from a couple of emails comming from ebay.

So I am implementing your solution and I hope in the future the library gets the fix.

Sadly didnt work for me.

I will have to check for another solution.

Thanks anyway.

Same problem.

In my case: a broken email's title prevents fetching the message: body, attachments and etc.
Call $message->getID(); throws at …/ddeboer/transcoder/src/IconvTranscoder.php:32:

[Ddeboer\Transcoder\Exception\IllegalCharacterException]
String "?ӧ֧ܧ? 2015/16 ?C ???֧ԧ?" contains an illegal character: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string

Is it any way to ignore IllegalCharacterException to take access to others not broken parts of email?

I Have a separate problem that may be related in some way

Kind of late. one year without an answer. I guess this forum will never get an answer :)

[Lewiscowles1986]

Well I'm not sure it will if we all take that attitude... Combing the PR's it seems modifying the transcoding library to include some try catch statements helped to silence and decode a lot of messages that were x-unknown, some variant of ascii or utf-8. It's not solved, but certainly progress. Btw, most decoded into readable English, not all did

Thank you for the feedbacks. The issue should be resolved by #196

class IconvTranscoder implements TranscoderInterface{
.....
public function transcode($string, $from = null, $to = null){
.....
if($from == 'auto') $from = 'UTF-8';
}
}

php 7.4
this works for me
