posted May 6, 2003 9:18 AM Hi Heiko, It is probably because you have created a multipart/alternative message, and the email client considers the attachment as an alternative. Instead, create a multipart/mixed message, with the following structure: Multipart/Mixed Message 1. Multipart/Alternative part 1a. Text part 1b. Html part 2. Attachment That should give you the message you are looking for. Hope it helps, -ken |

posted June 3, 2003 12:34 PM Hi Ken, We have just experienced the same problem and have followed your advice with some success. Now all the clients we test with that support HTML now show the attachments. However, now we are finding that a client that cannot deal with html email is not showing the plain text version. Instead it is showing the whole of the Multipart/Alternative part (that contains sub-parts of the plain text and html) including the part header. Any ideas why this may be. Is it that some email clients cannot deal with parts with sub-parts? Thanks Aaron |

posted June 4, 2003 8:48 AM Hi Aaron, It sounds like that is the case with this particular client. All you can do is construct a properly formatted, conventional message - you do not have control over how the email viewer presents the parts once it has received the message. The alternative header means the viewer should display only one of the subparts contained within. -ken |
