Android Question quoted-printable EN attachments

[peacemaker]

How to save from emails ?

If my Android app allows the user to send an email (intent) with attached .CSV - why attachments are _sometimes_ quote-printable ? Not all the time are base64, as expected. I need to reveive these emails by the app and get CSV attached for sure.

The actual format depends on the mail client. You can send the mail yourself with SMTP however you will need to ask the user for his account details.

If to send CSV as ZIPped - will they be always base64 ?
How to make sure in base64 to get them ?

 

[Erel]

It is worth trying...

 

[peacemaker]

OK, thanks, Erel, for reply.
But if to back to the question - is there any worth to try to parse quoted-printable email body ?
Even if only EN CSV are supposed.

 

[Erel]

Are you using MailParser to parse the messages?

 

[peacemaker]

Yes

 

[Erel]

Can you post a small example of the raw text you receive?

 

[peacemaker]

What part of the text is important?

As an idea - rename .CSV into, say, .PNG - maybe always will be sent as Base64, like .JPG ?

 

[sorex]

renaming it to .bin might help aswell since that was a binary format in the old days.

but the text seems to be alright.

 

[peacemaker]

Why old days, firmware is usually so, but , i think, .BIN might be removed by mail-servers, as dangerous.

 

[sorex]

just zip it, it's like 3 extra lines of code.

 

[Erel]

Have you tried to zip it? It will be simpler than parsing it.

 

[peacemaker]

OK, i 'll try later, thanks
