Description

In r4259, if I try to upload an e-mail message saved from Mozilla Thunderbird (an .eml file) in admin, I get this error message:

	upload = models.FileField(upload_to='files/%Y/%m/%d')
	class Admin: pass

My browser is Firefox 2.0, in case that makes any difference.

I recently ran into the same problem, so I came up with my own monkeypatch for handling message/rfc822 content types (nested MIME messages). Make no mistake: it's a hack, as it just removes the blind assert and replaces it with handling code that grabs the first payload from the submessage.

Status: newclosed

This has been fixed at some point between this bug being filed and now. There no longer are checks for nested mime messages and uploading .eml files with embedded emails works as expected.
