Found this on a website - can anyone confirm the following:-
The problem is that Outlook XP does not show attachments for MIME messages that have a 'Content-ID: ' header. Since Microsoft has not taken the time to fix this problem people who use mailers that place this header in a MIME message must find a way to disable the header. Andy. |

This is my answer:
ITS a Microsoft bug: here is 1 of many quotes I have found >As of this writing, Microsoft has acknowledged the bug but has not added >it to the Knowledge Base. We have been told that there will be a >post-SP1 hotfix for Outlook XP. This particular bug has bug fix number >OfficeQFE:4781. The nature of the bug is that messages with attachments >which contain a Content-ID header (which standard Pine attachments do) >do not show the attachment indicator (a paperclip) when viewed with >Outlook XP. So the user has no indication that the message contains an >attachment. I can't find this fix so I can only assume Microsoft haven't released it yet!! I wonder if there is anyway of changing the WAI MIME format so it works with outlook as well as other mail readers. Andy. |
