SC23-7860-09	June 28, 2023	Probe package version updated in Summary. Descriptions for the following properties added to Properties and command line options: MaxBodyLength, MaxHeaderLength, MaxLineCount, MaxLineSize, and ParseTextAttachment. Enhancement: Version 5.11 of the probe includes the following enhancement: RFE 137470: Make attachment file names available as tokens, for example: `$Attachments`, `$Attachment_1`, `$Attachment_2`, and `$Attachment_Count`. Fixes: This version of the probe also addresses the following APARs: IJ28204: Introduced new property ParseTextAttachment to make probe parse text based attachments as part of the email body and revert changes made by APAR IJ20126. IJ20126: Inline attachments with empty `ContentID` in the email MIME parts produced by some email clients preventing text based content of the inline attachments from being recognized as part of email body. IJ33729: Probe may not run in Windows because the batch script used the system JRE to run `javaw`. The batch script now runs executables from the default JRE in the OMNIbus installation. IJ26872: Introduced new properties MaxBodyLength, MaxHeaderLength, MaxLineCount and MaxLineSize to allow user-configurable lengths or limits to be set for the following elements: `Body`, `Body_nn`, `Header` and `Header_nn`. IJ27933: Probe may stop reading email when issues arise within the API while accessing the `INBOX` folder. The probe now creates separate threads to connect and read emails while imposing the timeout based on the setting of the EmailSocketTimeOut property for each thread. This also resolves a previous known issue whereby the probe may time out its connection with the mail server when reading large emails.
