I thought it was an ipswitch iMail webmail problem but now I am VERY interested in this report: "Declude Footer Option garbles Base64 encoded emails, causing "empty" emails in Webmail" It sounds exactly like my problem.
I have indeed witnessed a case recently where MS-Outlook was able to display an HTML message plus attachment but when viewed in iMail iclient neither the attachment or the HTML was displayed. It looked empty!! Are you saying that Declude adds a footer that can potentially mess up certain email client's in the presence of base64 encoded multipart content/attachments? If so, this must be what is happening to me. Can we turn off this feature? What's it for? Carl J.

Certain customers have been having problems with overseas senders using base64 encoding for the TEXT and HTML MIME segments of the email. The reason is Declude's "FOOTER" option. Declude injects a clear-text "footer" at the very end of both base64 encoded MIME segments, right after the base64 encoded "block", but before the MIME separator. The result is that some mail agents (like Imail Webmail) correctly encounter a content that cannot be "decoded" (because it's plain-text), and thus are UNABLE to display the message content - while other agents (like MS Outlook) will decode the base64 portion of the MIME segment and display THAT portion, effectively toleratign the extraneous plain text strings that Declude appended. I can provide snippets and/or a zip file what this looks like - but, as I said, various attempts during the last two days to send it to the list OR to Dave directly have failed.
