The most advanced part should be last. In your case that means the HTML part
needs to be last.
The idea was old "legacy" clients know only text and they were coded to just
show the first - they will show the text version.
New clients were coded to start with the last part and work their way backward
- they stop and display the first part they understand.
Then the only real trouble you have is clients that think they know HTML when
they really don't (ccMail for example).

Subject: Re: [Synalist] outlook consider html as attachment
hi
thank you for your response
the problem is, outlook in hebrew has a bug (that MS says it isnt even though
the english version works ok), so putting the html part last, makes it show
gibberish
is there another multipart/??? option that i can use to mayb solve this problem?
(im using multipart/mixed only in case i have attachments)
i want to make sure i got your email right
at first u wrote: "make sure you put the text/html part last."
and in the end u wrote: "So if you put text/plain last that is all you'll ever
see"
currently text part is last, so should it be last or before last?
thanks

If you do multipart/alternative emails with text/plain and text/html make sure
you put the text/html part last.
The Client is supposed to read the alternatives in reverse order and stop on
the first one they understand and know how to display. So if you put
text/plain
last that is all you'll ever see.

Subject: [Synalist] outlook consider html as attachment
hi
i have 2 parts in the email
text part and html part
like this:
MimePart := Msg2.AddPartMultiPart('alternative', nil);
tmpHTML.Text := tmphtml;
Msg2.AddPartHTML(tmpHTML, MimePart);
tmpHTML.Text := tmptext;
Msg2.AddPartText(tmpHTML,MimePart);
and it seems that outlook consider one of the parts as attachment
so the receiver sees the content as it should
but he also gets an attachment (im not sure if its the html part or the text
part)
how can this be avoided?
thanks
