-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Adrian,
On Fri, 28 Nov 2003 10:57:48 +0000 your time, you said: AJM> I've received attachments from a Mac user (using Word for Mac). I AJM> have been unable to read them. I think the problem is caused by AJM> illegal characters such as "/" being used in the file name. AJM> I'm using 2.01.3 set to "keep attachment files in message bodies". If you need them desperately then you could try this: 1. Export email to .msg format 2. Open the .msg file in a text editor (without wordwrap on). 3. Look for the base64 encoded file by looking for the MIME boundary declaration in the message. Here is an example: - --begin example - ------------10E4A19720729F06 Content-Type: image/gif; name="routeradmin.gif" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="routeradmin.gif" R0lGODlhAAUABPcAAAAAAH8AAAGBAICAAAABqIAAgAB+gMC+tcLZv6bJ8QAAAAEE3wIcdgY1qAAe yQNE5AJSsQF4PwJ4cQV7pwOHUwCJWgGPcQKcAQsMDREVGwkZQA8yZg86gwNcTRtPwghhzAlvBwh1 <..the rest of base64 encoded image snipped..> - --end example 4. change the filename after the "name=" part and the "filename=" part so that they are the same name; IOW change the original filename to newfile.ext, where 'newfile' is anything you like, and ext is whatever the file extension should be. - - btw: it will be these original filenames that contain the offending characters so you are simply removing the offending characters and adding something sensible ;-). 5. Save the file. Close it and import it back into TB! It's a workaround at least. Hope it works :-) - -- Slán, Simon @ i~n+f~o+w~i+z~a+r~d+.~c+o~.+u~k ***************************************** PGP Key via Web: http://pgp.infowizard.co.uk/ PGP Key via Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Faffing about with TB! v1.62r on W2K SP4 #136.
