MailMessage conversion / save to EML format: BOM is present in HTML part of message

Aspose.Email Product Family

Hi

The UTF-8 byte order mark (=EF=BB=BF) is appended to the HTML part when converting / saving a mail message to EML format (5.8.0). This was not the case when using version 5.3.0 of Aspose Email.

Is the observed behavior really the expected one? Is there a way to omit the BOM?

Code to reproduce:

String eml = “”
+ “MIME-Version: 1.0\n”
+ “Content-Type: text/html; charset=“utf-8”\n”
+ “Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\n”
+ “\n”
+ “Hi\n”;

// same result when using new EmlLoadOptions() instead of MailMessageLoadOptions.getDefaultEml()
MailMessage mailMessage = MailMessage.load(new ByteArrayInputStream(eml.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)), MailMessageLoadOptions.getDefaultEml());
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
mailMessage.save(bos, SaveOptions.getDefaultEml());
System.out.println(new String(bos.toByteArray(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

// last line of output
// 5.8.0: =EF=BB=BFHi
// 5.3.0: Hi

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards
Stephan

Hi Stephan,


Thank you for writing to Aspose support team.

I have tested the sample code using both Aspose.Email for Java 5.3.0 and 5.8.0. It is observed that BOM is appended to the Html part. This issue is logged under Id:EMAILJAVA-33550 in our issue tracking system for further investigation by the product team. I shall write here as soon as some feedback is received in this regard.

Hi Muhammad

I’ve tested the above code with Aspose Email 5.9.0, but this
results in the same (wrong) output as for 5.8.0 (i.e. includes the BOM). Do I need to set a flag (or something similar) or isn’t the bug fixed yet?

Kind regards
Stephan

I’ve tested it with 16.10.0 and there it seems to be correct. But I haven’t tried a never version.
