Summary: in email can't get attachments' filenames using get_filename
Initial Comment:
in the email package (2.4.1) the get_filename() method
returns the MIME field "filename" but some messages
have 'name' field instead, for example:
USUALLY THE HEADER IS:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
name="XX.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: XX.pdf
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="XX.pdf"
BUT SOMETIMES THE HEADER IS:
Content-type: application/octet-stream; name="XX.xls"
Content-transfer-encoding: base64
For this to work properly I had to code a hack along
these lines:
filename = part.get_filename()
if not filename:
ct = part.get("Content-type")
m = re.compile('name=\"(\S+)\"').search(ct, 1)
if m: filename=m.group(1)
But it would be helpful to code this in the get_filename()
