OT: Corrupt messages (was RE: [ActiveDir][OT] Is there a way to force users to logon to domain?)

[Michael B. Smith]

I’ve seen O2007 display it both ways, and I think it’s much more Exchange dependent (whether it’s been promoted to MAPI format or continues in Internet format).   The list software should not append a plain text footer to a base64 message without encapsulating the original message and rewriting the message to multipart. I’m certain, without tracking the RFC down, that not doing so is an RFC violation.   Exchange 2003 sp2 had some changes to its handling of “bad MIME” as well, which could be playing a role with the various experiences being seen by difference people.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 7:36 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir][OT] Is there a way to force users to logon to domain?   I just verified and OWA is also throwing garbage characters on the end of the message and when looking at the raw stream it is the list banner.   How is O2K7 displaying it?   Anyone understand what the full spec is for a message is and how to (or if you can) mix MIME with plain text? I expect either the plain text banner isn't allowed or the list software isn't modifying the header properly for it to tell the clients to expect it.     joe       Here is Al's message straight from POP without interpretation:     retr 39 +OK Received: from mail.activedir.org ([12.168.66.190]) by mbx01.joeware.local with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.211);          Mon, 15 May 2006 16:44:34 -0400 Received: from wr-out-0506.google.com [64.233.184.234] by mail.activedir.org with ESMTP   (SMTPD32-8.15) id A6B67EC012E; Mon, 15 May 2006 16:38:14 -0400 Received: by wr-out-0506.google.com with SMTP id i30so871233wra         for <ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org>; Mon, 15 May 2006 13:38:12 -0700 (PDT) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws;         s=beta; d=gmail.com;         h=received:message-id:date:from:to:subject:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references;         b=otNmqTOJtu6h3lzy946aXK9yGTM5JFr0xZLRCRvkC4134GXBlEVFGTm01oR6Q0alNwcgsKlCdGaf7Oc0P7XzMRmR5td5nR1iLsJQ+rx/bxz1c1RTzynDUZSfLeogbMBIzdfTwsmUbAV2+gfnxk19fHg0GT0mFn8dk97+KotFwW M= Received: by 10.64.10.15 with SMTP id 15mr2454953qbj;         Mon, 15 May 2006 13:38:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.65.253.12 with HTTP; Mon, 15 May 2006 13:38:12 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 15 May 2006 16:38:12 -0400 From: "Al Mulnick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Is there a way to force users to logon to domain?

Al is sending from GMAIL.   It appears that GMAIL is mime encoding the messages, and then the list attaches the plain text banner on it and the whole decodes incorrectly. Outlook pre-2007 pukes (probably exceptions out of the rendering phase) and OWA, O2K7, and Thunderbird seem to read it fine but with the possibility of bad characters. If I had to guess, I would guess the bad characters are the plain text banner being decoded as MIME.   -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm        From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ulf B.

What about the origin - are they created using OL2k7? If so must be a new bug - I was using a bit older version for quite a while (and everything was readable), but it almost corupted my mailstore - so I switched temporarily back.

I have a rule that auto-deletes Al’s emails as a matter of course.  J   I can confirm what others have said – that the emails are visible in Outlook 2007.   Still checking to see if there is a way to resolve this on the list server side, but haven’t found anything yet.   Tony   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Tuesday, 16 May 2006 9:42 a.m. To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Is there a way to force users to logon to domain?   Crap, more blank emails from Al.
