RE: question about multipart/related and IMAP servers

Title: Message

It takes place on the Exchange 5.5 server.    I don't know why 5.5 wouldn't generate a full fidelity output stream on a m/r message, but that's undoubtedly where the failure is occurring.

 

If you send me the original message as a .eml file, I can send it to the QFE guys to see what's going on

 

Exchange 2000 maintains 100% full fidelity with the input MIME stream so you shouldn't see any problems with that.

Subject: question about multipart/related and IMAP servers

I am sending out a message with multipart/related content-type (from outlook express).  but when i forward this message to several different accounts (exchange 5.5, exchange 6.0, netscape 4.15, cyrus) i get two types of MIME messages.  one where the original mime is left intact (exchange 6.0 and netscape 4.15) and another where the multipart/related has been changed to mutlipart/mixed.

 

Does anyone know where this alteration takes place (the outlook client, the smtp server, the MTA or the IMAP server)?  any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
