Problem Description:
When an email is forwarded from the Apple Mail client on iOS devices with an embedded attachment, the image file is not listed as an attachment when fetched by <cfpop>. However, the body of the message shows an <img src> tag with a "cid:" file indicating an embedded attachment is present and mail clients fetch the file and display it without issue.
Steps to Reproduce:
There may be other ways of creating this but the following method works reliably:
1. From Photos on an iOS device, email a photo to the account that will be accessed via <cfpop>.
2. From the Mail client on iOS, Forward the message that you just sent to the same account again (when prompted to "Include attachments from original message", choose "Include").
3. Run <cfpop> to fetch email for the account. The first message includes the image attachment as expected. The second message does not indicate that there are any attachments.
<cfpop action="getAll" server="serverIP" username="username" password="password" attachmentPath="attachmentPath" generateUniqueFilenames="true" name="messages">
Actual Result:
No attachments are listed in the ATTACHMENTFILES, ATTACHMENTS, or CID columns of the <cfpop> query result.
Expected Result:
<cfpop> should list the embedded image attachments. All other mail clients download the embedded attachments correctly.
Any Workarounds:
POPCFC (http://popcfc.riaforge.org/) is able to download the embedded attachments correctly via its "parseRawMessage()" function by fetching the messages directly via Java.
