CFExchangemail GetAttachments - Empty AttachmentFileName

Using the cfexchangemail tag with the getAttachments I am getting java.lang.NullPointerException for some attachments. It appears that for some attachments do not show "AttachmentFileName". For my example, when I submit an email from a PDF Form it will send either a PDF file or XML file as an attachment, but these do not show up.

A cfdump shows the following results from the code attached:
AttachmentFileName: [empty string]
AttachmentFilePath: [empty string] (This is expected with the attributes used in tag)
CID: [empty string]
IsMessage: NO
MimeType: [empty string]
Size: 113476

It knows the attachment is there and it knows the size, but it can not find the name or download it.

Any Ideas?

    We have the same/similar issue on cf8 8,0,1,195765

    Have you had any luck in finding an solution?

    We are trying to retrieve e-mails with a form attachment from and exchange server.

    The form is an attached PDF form created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1.xxxx

    it has a button of type submit with the submit to url set to mailto:xxx@xxx.com

    and Submit as: pdf

    When the form is filled and the button is clicked the file is attached on the server and can be seen retrieved via an e-mail client

    however CF reports the information as when using the UID:

    ATTACHMENTFILENAMEATTACHMENTFILEPATHCIDISMESSAGEMIMETYPESIZE
    1[empty string][empty string][empty string]NO[empty string]417878

    And ColdFusion cannot retrieve the email's attachments via Exchange via this method. Getting a java.lang.NullPointerException when trying to retrieve it.

    If the PDF form is manually attached to an e-mail in Outlook the server can read/retrieve the attachment fine.

    This is a major roadblock in our project! If anyone has any insights it would be greatly appreciated.
