Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with .EML attachments and compare the “Save all to Files” and “Download Zip” paths, including the reported Horde error. Trace the attachment handling entry points for both actions and verify completion when every .EML file is copied to the selected folder or included in a ZIP archive.
