I use Gmail and download the messages to my computer using POP and
read with Eudora. Most of the time I get attachments just fine, and I
have been doing this successfully for over a decade with various mail
hosts. But for some reason I do not get the attachments downloaded
from Gmail with the messages from one particular person.
If I access Gmail via my web browser, they are there and I can click
on them and download them just fine. I suspect that a Microsoft
specific attachment method is to blame. Here is the relevant message
header info:
X-MS-Has-Attach: yes
MIME-Version: 1.0
My question is: how do I get Gmail to transfer the attachments all
the time when I download messages by POP? I couldn't find any Gmail
settings that would help. Is this sender (or his email program) doing
something "wrong" in the way he attaches messages? Or is there
something I need to tweak on my end?
Unless the mailer says something about the attachment in the message,
I would have no idea that there was an attachment unless I check the
headers carefully. I can set up a filter in Eudora to notify me of
this situation, but I am concerned that I will miss something
important so I would like to find a better solution.
