i've been posting some messages to this forum regarding PDF attachments being mangled
when downloaded/opened throu squirrelmail.
i'd like to inform some people who had the same problem, that the problem isn't in squirrel:
after spending a lot of time (and i mean a lot) with this subject, i've concluded that
the problem is that "outlook 2000 (and next versions) sends PDFs using quoted-printable
encoding, which is not conform to conventions"... (for binary data... RFC 2045 6.5 2nd paragraph,
does not assure attachment integrity, just says "are not likely to change". (And see final assertions)).
In fact, this outlook behaviour leads to mangled pdfs (using last adobe) in almost every web-mail
i've checked (yahoo, hotmail, squirrel...).
There's no way to use the correct bin64 with pdfs in outlook 2000 (and next versions): the
program decides what to use, bin64 or quoted-p, which i think is quite dumb...
The only workaround is using winzip... (microsoft KB 178241 ? ).
Is there any incorrect point in my deduction?.
bye
