Richard - We have the same problem with Notes trying to "help us out" (read, "bit-mangle") with attachments. The best thing I know to do is to ZIP/Stuff the file before it's attached. Self-extracting would be the safest, but will add to the file size a bit.

The data is plain text but has a specific structure and I need to keep it intact when it's sent via email. What we're finding is that a lot of email clients will copy text attachments into the body of the email. Why? How do we tell Outlook/Eudora/Hotmail/Mozilla to leave the attachment as an attachment as the user specified? Damn, these emails packages are trying to be too smart for their own good. Is there a rule somewhere that if you're writing an email client the widely-published specs for such things don't apply to you? ;) -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
