Description
I have observed a pesky little issue that can lead to hard to spot trouble later. When a mail message contains HTML attachments, they are handled differently on download vs open:
- on download, they are correctly decoded, so the source of a HTML page looks good in WebPositive
- when you directly open it, it is still shown correctly in WebPositive, but not decoded (as can be verified by inspecting the HTML page source again - you even see the entire mail message including headers!)
HTML attachments should *always* be decoded when going to an external application, same as when downloading it.

what do you mean by decoding? The transfer encoding used by MIME or something else?
