Attachment Dropping: Failure to Decode File Names Properly During Mail Fetching
Issue:
The attachment is dropped due to invalid extension.
After decoding, the file name appears as:
Orange Załącznik nr 1 - Podsumowanie - uzupełnienie. xlsx(Contains space in the extension)
However, the actual file name should be:
Orange Załącznik nr 1 - Podsumowanie - uzupełnienie.xlsx
The issue arises because there is an extra space character in the extension after decoding from the email. As a result, the extension of the attachment is considered as invalid and discards it.
