Description
Checklist
- I have used the search function to see if someone else has already submitted the same bug report.
- I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.
App version
5.807
Where did you get the app from?
Google Play
Android version
8.1.0
Device model
Redmi Go
Steps to reproduce
Receive mail where the message's content-type is (say) application/pdf attachment, to be precise
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: application/pdf; name="Ticket_2.pdf"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Ticket_2.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Expected behavior
Display the message body as an attachment button with its size, and allow me to download/view by pressing the button.
Actual behavior
Display the attachment button with size label of "0 B". Pressing the button creates and views an empty file in the download directory.
Logs
I don' t have time right now to go though the log creation and retrieval, and I imagine it's not the kind of bug where a log is needed. But if the log is needed, comment, and I'll go about getting one.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Thunderbird for Android 5.807 using a message whose entire content is an application/pdf attachment with the MIME headers shown. Trace the attachment handling and download path, then verify that the message shows the correct size and that downloading or viewing produces the original attachment rather than an empty file.
