Fixing the Problem With Images in "Ticket History" Being Re-Processed as Attachments

Overview

When a user replies back to a ticket from the support center, images in "Ticket History" are being re-processed as attachments, getting re-imported, and are cumulatively added into the image history causing multiple duplicate copies of it.

This was a bug identified in version 4.93.02 and the issue was fixed in the email parser code that reprocesses the attachments from incoming emails as new ones. By using a SHA1 hash to compare with existing attachments, these are no longer re-imported.
