Invalid TNEF message

Question

I am getting the following exception when trying to load a message using Rebex Mail version 1.0.4086.0:

Exception Type: Rebex.Mail.MailException
Exception Message: Invalid TNEF message.
Exception Data: [MM.ErrorTag] = CUPS1NQBKMQR5YYFF4YMHJDYFA
Stack Trace:
    at Rebex.Mail.MailMessage.BlsmEj(MimeEntity )
    at Rebex.Mail.MailMessage.Load(Stream input)
    at MM.Import.Biz.Stream.SourceSmtp.MessageReceived(SmtpMessageReceivedEventArgs ea, String acceptedRecipient, String unknownSenderRecipient, String noAttachmentRecipient, OperatingContext op)

Exception Type: System.ArgumentException
Exception Message: Invalid character at position 2.
Parameter name: name
Stack Trace:
    at Rebex.Mail.Attachment.SetContent(Stream source, String name, String mediaType)
    at bkfOwD.bXzAGmZ.clLXPXZ(Stream )
    at bkfOwD.bXzAGmZ.cDtmAOZ(MailMessage , Boolean )
    at Rebex.Mail.MailMessage.BlsmEj(MimeEntity )

The message (and attachment) open without issue using Outlook, so I'm at an impass on how to diagnose the issue. Any suggestions? (The MM.ErrorTag exception data is set by my own error handling code.)

Comments

We are about to release a new version of Rebex Mail in a few days and it is quite possible it will fix this issue. I just sent a link to a beta package to your e-mail - please give it a try and let us know whether it solves the problem.

The results were the same with the beta package, only the obfuscated names changed. I can share the source mail message with Rebex support, but it's contents must be kept confidential.

Thanks! Please send the source e-mail message to support@rebex.net, preferably in a ZIP archive to prevent any mailservers along the way from modifying it.
