Unsupported character encodings in archived mail cause exceptions, should get read using ISO-8859-1 encoding

XMLWordPrintable

      See CSP-5793

      An email with an unsupported encoding, e.g. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=unknown-8bit will cause this exception:

      java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: unknown-8bit

      at com.atlassian.mail.MailUtils.getAttachments(MailUtils.java:147)

      We should catch this exception and read the bytes of the message with message.getInputStream() and convert it to a string using some default encoding (UTF8?)
