## 1.5.0

**November 17, 2021**

### What’s New

- Added a new system property called `parsing.text.attachment.as.body` that enables you to change
  the behavior for parsing attached text files when the file is the only content in the message. The
  possible values are:

  - `true` (default): Preserves the previous behavior and converts the text file attachment on the
    body message.

  - `false`: Adds the text file attachment to the attachment list in the payload.

### Compatibility

<table><colgroup><col> <col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Software</th><th>Version</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Mule</p></td><td><p>4.1.1 and later</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>JDK</p></td><td><p>8</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Features

None

### Fixed Issues

mimeType=‘**/**’ instead of failing. (EMAILC-61)

## 1.4.0

**February 1, 2021**

### Compatibility

<table><colgroup><col> <col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Software</th><th>Version</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Mule</p></td><td><p>4.1.1 and later</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>JDK</p></td><td><p>8</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

## 1.3.0

**October 19, 2020**

### Compatibility

### Features

The new **Enable Remote Search** parameter enables email search and filter for IMAP protocol
configurations at the server-side when a matcher is used with the `On New Email - IMAP` component.
Enabling the parameter decreases traffic by reducing the number of emails sent to the client-side
for processing, which reduces the amount of time and resources required to process polled emails.

### Fixed Issues

The IMAP protocol configurations are not applying filtering on the server-side, resulting in large
amount of emails downloaded from the server. (EMAILC-54)

### Features

for naming attachments when their filename is not present or when the attachment is in a nested
email. See the
[Email Connector documentation](https://docs.mulesoft.com/email-connector/latest/email-trigger#naming-strategy-for-attachments)
