Have you checked if the .eml file is actually empty? It shows as "0 B" in K-9 Mail, but otherwise should contain all data.

Hello. I've checked it. The file is not really empty. When we open it, it shows the content and it's not empty. However, the email display screen only shows the size as 0. While it's not really zero, it does contain content. Now, considering this, I think we should fix the issue of the size being shown as zero. Am I right? Do you have any thoughts on this?

ups, I checked and then forgot to answer. I wanted to check and compare/hash the files on desktop first. I will do that now.

I debugged. Actually, on the receiving side of the email, the field size(attachment.size) of the .eml attachments is zero!! Do you have an idea to fix this problem? that we can find and display the real size of those attachments? @cketti

I continued debugging and examined the code in more detail. I realized that even on the sender's side, if the database is cleared once after sending the message and we try to reopen that message, it also shows a size of zero (on the sender's side)!!

Confirmed. Ditched Thunderbird because of this one because it hasn't been fixed for over almost a year now and I can't use a mail client negleting such basic features for business purposes.
