I receive a weekly Market Bulletin from Commsec - its a pdf sent as an attachment to an HTML email.
This week the email didn't show an attachment but seemed to show much of the source code - starting at: > Mime-Version: 1.0 and including tall the html coding and raw PDF code in the body of the email Maybe it was Sunday morning making me question the mysteries of the universe but I wondered why. I compared the source code of the message with the code for last weeks email and noticed that there seemed to be an extra blank line between the "Subject:" header and the "Mime-Version: 1.0" line. Intrigued I dragged the email to the desktop, removed the blank line with BBEdit lite and dropped it back in the inbox - sure enough the email now displayed as usual showing the pdf as an attachment which opened fine in acrobat. So, having found the problem, I'm wondering where it came from - is this down to Commsec sending an email with a problem, my client introducing the problem on receipt, or something that comes from one of the mail servers on the way - or is any of the above possible/probable? No biggie here - I'm just curious as to how this stuff works. TIA Neil -- Neil R. Houghton Albany, Western Australia Tel: +61 8 9841 6063 Fax: +61 8 9841 6137 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
