This mostly helps when fields change types. If the type of the field
currently cannot convert previous data to a string (like if a short-answer
field was changed to choices), the textual representation of the PHP value
of the field data is given.

This issue was addressed for htmLawed, where the UTF-8 version of a
non-breaking space, 0xc2a0 would be collapsed to 0xa0, which would very
likely create an invalid Unicode character, and the text block would be
dropped or truncated.

Preserve inline image floating in ticket thread

Reviewed-By: Peter Rotich <peter@osticket.com>

Background: osTicket allows access to assigned open tickets (both personal
and team assignments) regardless of the assigned department or group. This
is necessary to allow staff to work on tickets in an otherwise restricted
department.

When a staff member closes a ticket, they're credited (ticket.staff_id is
set to staff's id) for the purpose of showing who closed the ticket.
osTicket mistakenly allowed continued access to closed tickets even when the
staff doesn't have access to the ticket based on departmental access.

Careful transcoding attachments with a charset

tnef: Strip null bytes from attachment filenames

Reviewed-By: Peter Rotich <peter@osticket.com>

If a non-text attachment specifies a charset in the content-type header,
don't transcode the content before saving it to the database. This can
corrupt attachments which have a header like the following:

Content-Type: application/pdf; charset=UTF-8

Since a PDF contains binary data, coercing it to UTF-8 encoding will drop
characters not valid in UTF-8 and will corrupt the attachment data.

Also support the TransportName in the properties list and prefer it over the
attachment-level attribute, as it is Unicode encoded.
