Problem with attachments
Hello,
I am currently using an RTE (Reliable Transaction Engine) to send
emails containing attachments to users. Although the emails get
displayed correctly in "heavy" mail clients such as Lotus Notes, Apple
Mail, etc., they don't in "light" mail clients such as Web mail
clients: the MIME types and subtypes and the attachments' bodies get
displayed as raw text in the body of the email, like this:
-----112222
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="1222.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: Text/Plain
22 09 06;Ssdkedkdkd; MR. JOHNSON; AAA
22 09 06;XXXCCcccc; MRS. JOHES; BBB
....
If I "cat" a similar message containing an attachment to sendmail (cat
my_message.txt | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -bm -v), my Web mail client
correctly displays the corresponding email; that is, the attachment is
shown as an icon, as one would expect.
So here's my questions: have any of you ever had this problem before?
How I can make sendmail keep a copy in a directory of the emails sent
by my RTE, for later debugging? If the attached file contained weird
characters which might cause the Web client to choke on the message,
would sendmail tell me so in the logs?
Many thanks.
