Rescue from Encoding::CompatibilityError when converting Mapi::Mime to a String. In some situations the parts can legitimately be different encodings, but cannot be concatenated given the encoding differences. In this situation, force the encoding to ASCII-8BIT rather than erroring.
In fae72e5 we introduced a fallback for incompatible character encodings, but that only covered the case where Mapi::Mime#is_multipart? returns true. This is a slight variation for the other branch of the conditional. The error is being raised where we have a `@body` in a different encoding to the default string encoding. In this case, just always force the string to be the same encoding as `@body` so we don’t get an error. This passes the spec for the particular file we’re seeing problems with, but I’m not at all sure this is the right thing to do. Maybe we should always treat anything in mapi as ASCII, and then force to UTF-8 for display? [1] Fixes mysociety/alaveteli#5783 [1] aquasync#9 (comment)
