Method to Keep Attachments in Body of Inbound HTML Emails

dturner — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 18:06:32 GMT

Hi Guys -When sending an HTML email from MS Outlook to an Alfresco aliased folder the inline\body image attachments are always pulled out.Is there a way to keep them within the HTML doc created in the folder? Or possibly convert the inbound email into another format with the inline images imbedded?W

I briefly researched this request.

I don't think this is currently possible, and the issue you link to has no internal comments so it has not received any attention in the last year. It isn't currently scheduled for work.

Sorry.

There is some older documentation out there on making custom email handlers but all of the specified locations are gone in 5.0.
If I could find it I could disable attachment extraction.. curious to see what it Alfresco would do to html email if not set to extract.

I can look at coding this out but I need to know where the email handler resides.

For instance I can't find:

org.alfresco.email.server.handler.EmailMessageHandler
org.alfresco.email.server.handler.AbstractEmailMessageHandler
Then add the new handler to the Spring config by overriding the emailService bean from CONFIGROOT\emailserver\email-service-context.xml
then copy InboundSMTP-context.xml to <ext-config>/alfresco/extension/subsystems/email/InboundSMTP/inboundSMTP-context.xml
