I have k9 mail on pc and Android

You have K9 on PC? This is an Android app only…

About .eml attachments: I assume that the mail is a “forwarded as attachment” mail which itself contains the PDF attachment. Other eMail programs like Thunderbird are able to directly show content of attached mails, also their attachments.

K9 lacks this functionality and shows a .eml file instead. This .eml file can be displayed with other apps but not with K9

Opening EML attachments

Any embedded RFC822 attachment is shown as EML attachment. In an Android environment just a button will be shown which leads to an external app … (not handled by K9, alas, I can’t control the set of apps). Wouldn’t it be nice, if K9 opens and handles such object by itself? Especially to inspect the header of such mails. K9 has definitely all the abilities to do so. I’d expect that could be easily intergrated and implemented … could this be taken to the whishlist?

Unable to view MIME mail attachments

hi all, Should I expect K-9 to be able to handle, i.e. display, emails containing another email in a MIME attachment, i.e. a simple attachment-forwarded email? For example, today I received an email: Content-Type: multipart/mixed with two attachments. The first is the “enclosing” email: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed and the second is the forwarded email: Content-Type: message/rfc822; name=“blah.eml” Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=“blah.eml” I would ha…

Ok, what are the other 3 attachments? Is there also the .xml file you see on Android K9?

@luiz666

Android with same email I don’t see pdf file attached but only .xml and .eml file

I assume the the mail (you speak about PEC mail - I read about it but I have no practical experience with it) embeds / has attached the other mail with PDF.
K9 cannot handle attached mails other than showing it as .eml file.

What eml reader are you using? I would expect that it should show you an attached PDF file.

I tried it with EML Reader free - worked as expected.

I use EML reader paid, with same email in Thunderbird there are 4 files attached daticert.xml,postacert.eml, pdf file and signature.xml on k9 email pdf file is missed.

Ok… so in the attachment section of eml reader you do not see the PDF file?

Yes I don’t see, in .eml file of k9 I see the mail text wich I send as to .eml file on Thunderbird but pdf file there isn’t.
