Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] html pictures....
We have.
And I just tested to produce that problem with Netscape Messenger (4.7) and
I was able to create the problem.
Reason why this is happening is (I think) related to attachment encoding
method.
We have in our work old MS-Mail 3.2 smtp-gateway mahcine and half of our
mail is going thru that gateway to Imail and elsewhere.
Exchange client for Win9x is only able to UUENCODE attachments (both sending
and receiving) and when someone sent message containing attachment to
ms-mail -> Imail, it will open in "code mode" when clicked in web-messaging.
It seems like Imail support partitially uuencode method. It will show
Attach.gif well but it cannot be clicked like normal cases. This causes
another problem: if client uses Netscape 4.x and right-click that attachment
link and selects "save link as" and saves that. It will be corrupted. When
this same thing is done with IE 4.x -> 5.x ("save target as"), the
attachment will open normally, there's no problem.
If someone wants to try and reproduce this problem easily, do the following.
Open Netscape Messenger
Click new message
Select TO address, say something nice in subject line.
Select Attach button
Choose file (any file, not just pictures)
Select View -> Options and enable following: UUENCODE instead of MIME for
attachemts.
Send message
Wait.. and then go and click on the web-messaging that attachment link.
