Sending attachments via the Email Migration API

[Jeffrey McKay]

Further to my un-answered question of a couple days ago, I have discovered that Google seems to be taking it upon itself to do some kind of "validation" of imported attachments.  It does not like an attachment with the extension .vbs, so it summarily rejects it and the entire message.  If I rename the attachment with a .dat extension, it works.  Simlarly, I sent in an attachment that was a corrupted .zip file, and it was rejected.  A valid .zip file was accepted. 

 

Needless to say, this is really not good behavior - why should Google care about my attachments?  I do not want it to do this.  The

IMAP gateway does not do this.

 

Any comments from Google?
