Email boundary failing - InvalidMultipartContentTransferEncodingDefect

[victorromeo]

I'm trying to create an automated PDF from my receipts using email2pdf via getmail, however I'm getting a boundary error on my first email. May I please get your thoughts? Does email2pdf support merging pdfs, when an email already contains a pdf?

getmail conversion failing due to boundary

Delivery error (command email2pdf 26909 error (2, ERROR: Defects parsing email: [InvalidMultipartContentTransferEncodingDefect(),
InvalidMultipartContentTransferEncodingDefect()]))
msg 1/2 (73288 bytes) from [email protected], delivery error (command email2pdf 26909 error (2, ERROR: Defects parsing email: [InvalidMultipartContentTransferEncodingDefect(),

Delivery error (command email2pdf 26915 error (2, ERROR: Defects parsing email: [InvalidMultipartContentTransferEncodingDefect(),

Where the boundaries appear fine

Victor, Thanks for the report. I've never seen this. To answer your question, though - no, email2pdf will treat PDF attachments as attachments, so by default it will detach them and output them (unless you add `--no-attachments`). Thanks, Andrew.
