Hi Chris,
Interesting problem.
I am assuming, it has been checked on the sender's side, the copy of data in
their mailbox "and" the copy saved on disk have correct representation of
UNA.
Only way I can think of Outlook messing with data in the body on either
sender or receiver side is if Tools|Options|Mail Format|Send this message
format option is set to "Html". You may want to try it out with "text"
option set on both sides.
Do let us know the resolution.
Thanks and regards,
Ajay

Subject: UNA and MS Outlook
I have been having some problems with EDIFACT received in the body of
emails which I suspect are due to the gratuitous intervention of a
Microsoft Mail product. CrLf pairs are inserted into the interchange. We
are used to that and they normally present no problem, except that the
interchange has a leading UNA segment and that is being corrupted.
The segment should read
UNA:+.? '
A CrLf pair is inserted before the final quote, and sometimes the blank
before the quote is removed as well. The only way I can deal with this
reliably is to arrange for the partner profile to activate an option
whereby the incoming UNA segment is stripped in its entirety, and the
segment as it ought to be substituted.
Has anyone on the list had this experience, and/or knows how to stop
Microsoft software mangling test in the body of a message? I suspect it
is occurring at the sender's side (which unfortunately is in Australia)
since we are using our own POP3 client to fetch the messages and it
wouldn't dream of messing around with the message body. The EDI is sent
as the body, not as an attachment.
Regards
Chris
