    Description

      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding bug report.

      Summary

      Environment

      • MAC Outlook Client
      • Exchange Server for incoming and outgoing mails.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a ticket in JIRA, doesn't matter using UI or email.
      2. Update the ticket via email.
      3. Observe that there will be text.html attachment.

      Expected Results

      The issue is being commented without text.html attachment

      Actual Results

      The issue is being commented with text.html attachment
      The content of the email header file:

      Attachment: text.html
       <http://<base-url>:8080/browse/IT-1#add-comment> Add Comment
      <http://<base-url>:8080/browse/IT-1#add-comment>
        
      This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.8#64023-sha1:bab6790)
      
      
      
      --B_3523450212_10300204
      Content-type: text/html;
      	charset="US-ASCII"
      Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
      
      <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org=
      /TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
      <html xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
      <head>
      <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dutf-8">
      <meta name=3D"viewport" content=3D"width=3Ddevice-width, initial-scale=3D1.0, maxim=
      ...
      

      This seems like its all coming from the mail client.

      Workaround

      • Send email from MAC Outlook Client on plain TEXT format.
      • Send email from MAC Outlook Client on plain HTML format with the option 'Preferred encoding for new messages' unchecked in Outlook Composing Configuration.
