Lotus Notes email to PDF conversion does not contain inline/embedded images

Aspose.Email Product Family
1

The converted PDF only contains placeholders for the images. The images are only listed in the external attachment list.
See example email: lotus-notes.zip (118.2 KB)

Outlook and other EML converted files are ok, the problem affects only Lotus Notes E-Mails

    MailMessage eml = null;
    
    try ( InputStream fis = new FileInputStream( lotusNotesEmail ) ) {

        eml = MailMessage.load( fis );
        
        File mhtml = new File ("C:\\Ceyoniq\\temp\\temp.mhtml");
        
        MhtSaveOptions mso = SaveOptions.getDefaultMhtml();
        mso.setMhtFormatOptions( DEFAULT_MHT_FORMAT_OPTIONS );

        eml.save( mhtml.getAbsolutePath(), mso );

        HtmlLoadOptions loadOptions = new HtmlLoadOptions ();
        loadOptions.setLoadFormat ( LoadFormat.MHTML );
        
        Document doc = new Document( mhtml.getAbsolutePath(), loadOptions );

        doc.save( output.getAbsolutePath(), new PdfSaveOptions() );

    } finally {
        if ( eml != null ) { 
            eml.close();                
        }
    }

    System.out.println( "done." );

We have closed the ticket EMAILJAVA-35120 as ‘Not a Bug’. The you need to check the ContentDisposition.Inline Attachment option for Lotus notes emails as shown below to get the desired output.

eml = MailMessage.load(fis);
if (isLotusNotes) {
    for (Attachment att : eml.getAttachments()) {
        if (att.getContentId() != null && att.getContentId().length() > 0) {
            att.getContentDisposition().setInline(true);
        }
    }
}
