Posts: 154                I'm totally new to sending emails, so please bear 
with me. I've just set up a program to send files to my customers. There's one 
text file and one html file to be attached to each email. I had an old program 
which did this, but what that did was send them to my Outlook 2003 outbox, 
which then sent them when I hit the 'send' button. I rewrote the program 
because I wish to avoid Outlook and an addon which was required.

Anyway, the program appeared to be working fine and people are receiving the 
files correctly, except for one person who was attempting to view his html file 
on an iphone. There were problems with the mimetype, which I hadn't set 
correctly. I set these correctly (I think) to text/plain and text/html. He can 
now receive the files, but they just display as a large chunk of text/html on 
his screen (it does show the correct html formatting, on my screen at least). 
But he can't access them as seperate files, they're just viewable.

As I say, I'm new to this and know next to nothing about mimetypes or iphones. 
I haven't got a clue what's wrong here. Any ideas?

Here's the code I'm using for the sending

file = new emailAttachment
file.loadFromFile getFolderItem(FileName)
file.MIMEType="text/plain"
mail.attachments.append file

file = new emailAttachment
file.loadFromFile getFolderItem(FileName2)
file.MIMEType="text/html"
mail.attachments.append file

// send the email
socket1.messages.append mail
