You are right, its not the extension. I tried renaming my *.RTF testfile to *.XYZ, and it did not matter.
I did a little more "research" with the email clients at hand: Warpzilla 0.9.7, Outlook Express 6, Eudora 5.1 and Lotus Notes 4.57h for OS/2 (with the Internet mail client delivered from IBM with Warp 4). Result when sending message with attachment with RTF content from Warpzilla: 1. Eudora does not see the attachment at all, displays it inline 2. Outlook displays the content inline and indicates attachment 3. Warpzilla displays the content inline and indicates attachment 4. Lotus Notes displays only as attachment As you can see, only Lotus Notes displays this as expected. I did the same test when sending from Outlook, and then all 4 clients indicates attachment as expected, none of them displays the content inline. It seems to me we have one problem with Eudora and one with Warpzilla. Eudora is not able to detect or indicate that the message contains an attachment at all, while Warpzilla "packs" the message in a way that makes all receiving clients (including Warpzilla) display the content inline, which is quite meaningless in this case. I have not been able to find this as a registered bug, anyone else? regards, Jan On Sat, 29 Dec 2001 16:51:08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Henry Sobotka) wrote: > If you're sending the RTF file as an attachment and the recipient's > email program treats it as inline text, the problem's at their end.
