Attachments forwarded from Pegasus 4.91 not displaying in Ipad Mail App

Recently, attachments in mail forwarded from Pegasus 4.91 on Windows 10, won't decode or display properly in iPad Mail App.


Calendar invites (.ics) are the biggest problems.


Changed various MIME settings in Pegasus with no real improvement.

I rarely receive .ics content so didn't have anything recent to use for testing so I located an old .ics file, attached it to a message and then sent it to one of my email accounts. I then forwarded that message, with editing, to an email account that I can access with my iPhone Mail app. The calendar content displayed when I tapped on the attachment. Nothing appeared to be missing but since I have never done this I don't know whether what I was looking at was "normal".


Please provide more details about what you are seeing and how you are forwarding.


Are you using PMICAL to display .ics in Pegasus Mail?
If so, does that display the content?
Is the sender of the problem .ics attachments always the same?

I looked at the raw view of my test message and noticed the attachment was defined as "Content-type: Application/Octet-stream" and not the expected "Content-type: text/calendar". I don't know whether this has any relevance to what the OP is experiencing nor whether the "Application/Octet-stream" has anything to do with the source file. This gets beyond my level of knowledge.


I also discovered that the new mail filtering rules that should detect and invoke PMICAL are not working for this file. No troubleshooting done yet on this. PMICAL gets invoked when the attachment is double-clicked in the Attachment tab so that confirms the content viewer entry for .ics is working.

Adding this line to the filetype.pm file


text/calendar,0,X,0,.ics


Will change the attachment "type=" definition from "Unknown" to "text/calendar" like this:
"Content-type: Application/Octet-stream; name="test_ics.ics"; type=Unknown"
to
"Content-type: Application/Octet-stream; name="test_ics.ics"; type=text/calendar"


This is helpful in Pegasus Mail because it changes the "Type" listed in the Attachment tab from "Unknown" to "text/calendar". I don't know whether it is of any benefit in other email clients or apps though.
