Hello everyone, I've too have been experiencing problems with attachments. Let me preface by stating that any attachments I receive or send I can read in other mail clients, just not Evolution. Also, I am using IMAP to a Novell NetMail message store. Here is a sample message snippet and what it looks like when:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Taken directly from the mailbox on the message store (no client) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: test attach From: "Tracy A. Cerise" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=-JpWGovCUc2nvfIQyQdw8" X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.0.8 (1.0.8-10) Date: 27 Feb 2003 06:48:20 -0500 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 --=-JpWGovCUc2nvfIQyQdw8 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit this is a test --=-JpWGovCUc2nvfIQyQdw8 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=acctmgr_step1.jpg Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=acctmgr_step1.jpg Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQABLAEsAAD/2wBDAAEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEB AQEBAQICAQECAQEBAgICAgICAgICAQICAgICAgICAgL/2wBDAQEBAQEBAQEBAQECAQEBAgICAgIC AgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgL/wAARCAAxAbIDASIA AhEBAxEB/8QAHwAAAgEEAwEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgHBQYJCgIDBAEL/8QATBAAAgIBAwQABAMDBgcN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

First, this test message and attachment was sent from Evolution, and the attachment is not corrupted and can be seen from any other client I have tried besides Evolution. I am using TLS for both sending and receiving, and as you can see, actual encoding of this little jpg file is not changed. What does change though, is that every time I open this message with Evolution and look at the source, the multipart/mixed boundary string changes, and you will notice that it is different from 1, 2 and 4 above (which are the same)(This behavior does not happen with Evolution 1.2 on my test box). I don't know if that means anything or not, just thought I would point it out. Also, I have the KMail client setup to use TLS for both sending and receiving as well. I am using version 1.0.8-10, I know it is not the latest, but I have problems with 1.2 and my IMAP folders. I have a test box with Evolution 1.2, but still get the exact same results as shown above with attachments, just not the changing boundry string, it is the same string as 1, 2 and 4. I hope this is helpful to someone to diagnose the problem. I can provide the entire message instead of just the snippets if that will help. I like Evolution, it would just be nice not to have to jump though a hoop every time I receive an attachment. Thanks, -tracy a. cerise _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
