I may be wrong, but I think it is up to the receiving email engine to open attachments in line or not. At least I am aware of that option and have fiddled with it from time to time on various email engines.
We use the facility extensively to send reports. >From MS Outlook Help: "If the message format is Rich Text Format (RTF), >attachments will appear in the body of the message. Even though the file >appears to be embedded in the message, it is actually still a separate >attachment." Just gotta love MS products automatically opening attachments, perhaps 'the' most popular attack vector. HTH -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Steely Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 4:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Batch E-Mail We are z/os V1R9. I am having a problem when I send a e-mail with an attachment through batch. When IBM receives the email the attachment is showing up in the body of the email and not a separate attachment. We have a proc which wraps the required stuff around the parms supplied for an e-mail (from, to, attachment, body, CC, etc....). This output is pickup by SMTP and sent to our email server to be sent. This process works as design internally and haven't heard any problems on externally transmitted email using this process except for the email I send to IBM to process the SCRT (sub capacity reporting tool) data. Does anyone have a process that performs a batch e-mail process which they use to send this type of report to IBM.
