Not supported error converting emails to PNG in .NET

Converting emails to PNG for thumbnail creation results in a “File type not supported” exception.
I analyzed the problem and found out, that GroupDocs.Conversion 22.1 attempts to convert the ZIP attachment of the email.

Attachment test 6 ZIP.zip (49.2 KB)

This problem seems to be new with version 22.1.

var emailLoadOptions = new EmailLoadOptions();
emailLoadOptions.ResourceLoadingTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
//emailLoadOptions.ConvertOwned = false;

var imgOptions = new ImageConvertOptions()
{
	Format = FileTypes.ImageFileType.Png,
	//convert only the first page for thumbnail
	PageNumber = 1,
	PagesCount = 1,
	Width = 256,
};

using (var conv = new Converter(documentPath, () => emailLoadOptions))
{
	string filePath = @"outputConversion{0}.png";
	Contracts.SavePageStream getPageStream = page => new FileStream(string.Format(filePath, page), FileMode.Create);
	conv.Convert(getPageStream, imgOptions);
}

As a workaround, I set ConvertOwned to false.
This should not be needed though, as I only want to convert the first page anyway.

When converting the provided Email (e.g. MSG) file to PNG, we got the same exception. Therefore, we’ve logged it in our internal issue tracking system with ID CONVERSIONNET-5099. We’ll now further investigate how the Email attachments (e.g. ZIP) could be handled at the time of document conversion.
