Research direction
The issue identifies the email component but provides no source file, test, or reproduction case. Start by reproducing the failure with a quoted-printable RFC822 message attachment, then trace the email parser path involved. Done means the attachment is decoded correctly without the reported failure, with regression coverage added where appropriate.
