OK .. I cant see the .bmp files your link is still broken .. but I'll
take a gues that the problem is this: You have a mail wiht an embedded
image. Using MS Outlook the image is displayed .. under Sqwebmail (and
90% of other mailers) you dont see the image but you get UUENCODED inline
document.
This, as best I can understand it, is a problem with a broken email
client that sent the original mail. I see this quite a lot. The client
that generated the mail should have declared the message content to be
mime/multipart or some other suitaible type. Instead it declares the
message content type to be 'text/plain' and then just puts 'begin' on a
line and follows with uuencoded data. This is not in any standard. The
mail should have content boundary seperators and a proper content type,
not just 'text/plain. Since the content type has been defined as
'text/plain' sqwebmail (and most other mailers apart from Outlook) will,
quite correctly display the message as plain text! .. Sqwebmail (and most
mail clients) are not broken .. it is the mail client which _sent_ the
mail that is fundementally broken I suggest you contact the vendor of the
mail client that generated the mail and explain that the program is
broken and ask them to fix it. If they will not fix it ask for your money
back and then change to using a mail client that does work.
This is just a guess as I have not seen the headers of the original
message and your link is still broken .. please feel free to forward the
headers if you like.
