Content type multipart issues
-----------------------------
Key: EMAIL-97
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-97
Project: Commons Email
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Tobin Juday
When Commons sends out an HTML email, it sends a multipart/mixed section which
contains a multipart/alternative, which then contains the text/plain and
text/html sections. When I send out a similar messages from other apps
(Thunderbird/Mail.app), they just send out the multipart/alternative section,
it's not wrapped in the multipart/mixed.
This is causing problems when recipients try to reply to one of these emails.
The email clients aren't quoting the original text in the reply email.
I'm not sure if this is necessarily a bug, the emails display fine in all the
different clients, but I'm wondering if there's some way to get rid of the
multipart/mixed section.
Just for clarification, I've included some links for what emails from different
clients look like.
Commons: http://gist.github.com/474799
Mail.app: http://gist.github.com/474796
Thunderbird: http://gist.github.com/474801
If Commons could match what other clients send, I think that would be good.
