One of my clients, using Eudora Pro 5.x for Windows, reports that some people receiving her email say they are received with the content as a ".rtf" attachment. Her Eudora is set to send as plain text and I've verified that there is nothing other than ASCII in her notes when I receive them.Yes. I've heard of it happening when Eudora for Windows is set to use the Microsoft composition and rendering engine. This is a configuration choice in Eudora for Windows. It's generally a bad idea to use that feature, as it opens up a number of attack holes usually reserved for the MS mail clients.
I figure that the recipients' mail system is fiddling with the message contents in some way. Perhaps they use web-based mail that sticks ads in everything with the result that the message content becomes incidental. I dunno.
Anyone heard of this problem?
A mail server generally cannot fiddle with the actual data format of mail. The encoding (i.e. plain, base64, quoted-printable, etc.) can be changed, but switching plain text to RTF would be a very bad behavior and it isn't something I've ever encountered.
