"There was an error getting mail items!" with attachments

Hi, first, thanks for writing mailslurper! This makes testing mail delivery so much easier!

I have checked out the current mailslurper repository and I am running the docker container on OSX.

My problem is that when I send mails with attachments to the mailslurper SMTP server, these aren’t shown in the web interface. Instead there is a message saying “There was an error getting mail items!”. Mails without attachments are shown just fine.

Also, when I try to get the mail containing the attachment using the REST API, e.g. curl http://localhost:8085/mail/72f84b7a-7a97-4186-7565-dd43cbb898a1, nothing is returned.

In the server log, there is no error message. Only this entry: time="2019-01-23T22:46:04Z" level=info msg="Mail item 72f84b7a-7a97-4186-7565-dd43cbb898a1 retrieved" who=ServiceController

I am running the mailslurper container with this command: docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8085:8085 -p 2500:2500 mailslurper

The problem can be replicated with your test script send-mail-test.py. After running the script, the web interface no longer works. Retrieving a mail that has an attachment per REST call is also not possible.

Please tell me if there is something I can do to fix this.

Thanks,

Sebastian
