I'm writing an application that can send an HTML message (and alternate text), using embedded images in the message (cid). the program works fine, unfortunately, if I specify an alternate text for people who cannot receive html messages the recipient's email client shows a paper clip in the inbox. when you view the message itself, there are no attachments and all the images display properly. if I don't add alternate text it's fine. this is important, because many spam filters see this as spam, so I need it to NOT have the paper clip.
I saw an article in a forum where someone mentioned the ORDER of which the mail message is made is important (although i have not confirmed this). they said it needs to be multipart, text, then html...like this: Content-Type: multipart/related; Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit //plain text message here Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit //html message here what I'm receiving is in this order: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: multipart/related; Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit how do I get around this?
