Not seeing any text/html parts in fetched messages

[james-rant]

I'm fetching emails from Gmail, using Postal.

I fetch the last 100 emails, with all flags ([.structure, .size, .flags, .headers, .gmailLabels, .gmailThreadID, .gmailMessageID, .body, .fullHeaders, .headerSubject]), and then iterate over each fetch result's body.allParts and fetch the attachments for each part.

When I do this, I don't ever see any text/html parts, only ever text/plain, but when viewing the raw source of the mail on Gmail, it shows there is a text/html and a text/plain.

My code looks like so:

func fetchMail(in folder: Folder) {
	mailService?.fetchLast(folder.name, last: 100, flags: allFlags, onMessage: { result in
		result.body?.allParts.forEach { part in
			print(part.mimeType) // This always prints "text/plain"
			self.mailService?.fetchAttachments(folder.name, uid: result.uid, partId: part.id, onAttachment: { mailData in
				if let data = Data(base64Encoded: mailData.decodedData, options: .ignoreUnknownCharacters) {
					let content = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
					print(content) // this is always a plain text representation
				} else {
					let content = String(data: mailData.decodedData, encoding: .utf8)
					print(content) // this is always a plain text representation
				}
			}, onComplete: { error in
				if let error = error {
					print("Error fetching attachment: \(error)")
				}
			})
		}
	}, onComplete: { error in
		if let error = error {
			print("error fetching email in \(folder.name): \(error)")
			return
		}
	})
}

An example of the log when I'm testing this is as follows:

text/plain
Optional("D4Test was granted access to your Google account\r\n\r\n\r\[email protected]\r\n\r\nIf you did not grant access, you should check this activity and secure your\r\naccount.\r\nCheck activity\r\n<https://accounts.google.com/[email protected]&continue=https://myaccount.google.com/alert/nt/1570456286000?rfn%3D127%26rfnc%3D1%26eid%3D650020303090366957%26et%3D0%26anexp%3Dgivab-fa--mdv2-fa>\r\nYou received this email to let you know about important changes to your\r\nGoogle Account and services.\r\n© 2019 Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA\r\n")

But when I check the source of the email via the Gmail website it shows two parts of the email, one text/plain, which is the plain text encoded as bas64, and the other text/html, but the html part does not appear in the parts in the Postal response.

I'm also seeing this, using the latest version (installed using the "manual" install instructions). Possibly related, mailData.encoding is always .binary, even though most of the message parts are quoted-printable (and as such, mailData.encoding should be .quotedPrintable). As far as I can tell, this determination is done by libetpan, and it looks like the binary included with Postal is about three years old. I'll try to compile a new version when I get a chance (just ran dependencies/build-dependencies.sh and got the error below):

have you guys found any solution on attachment downloading ? no matter what I have tried I am always getting undefined error

    postal?.fetchMessages(Folders.inbox.description, uids: indexSet, flags: [.body, .headerSubject], onMessage: { result in
        result.body?.allParts.forEach { part in
   
            // download images if mimetype is pdf or jpeg
            if part.mimeType.subtype.contains("pdf") || part.mimeType.subtype.contains("jpeg") {
                self.postal?.fetchAttachments(Folders.inbox.description, uid: result.uid, partId: part.id, onAttachment: { mailData in
                    if let data = Data(base64Encoded: mailData.decodedData, options: .ignoreUnknownCharacters) {
                        let content = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
                        print(content)
                    } else {
                        let content = String(data: mailData.decodedData, encoding: .utf8)
                        print(content) // this is always a plain text representation
                    }
                }, onComplete: { error in
                    if let error = error {
                        print("Error fetching attachment: \(error)")
                    }
                })
    }, onComplete: { error in
        if let error = error {
            print("error fetching email in \(Folders.inbox.description): \(error)")
            return
        }
    })
