Hello.
I have an interesting issue. It seems like some e-mail clients (e.g.,
Outlook) don't know what to do with attached e-mails inside the e-mails.
I usually attach a sent e-mail into my new e-mail to send. Is this by
design or a bug in SeaMonkey v2.33.1 and/or ThunderBird?
How can I have it behave like Outlook when I can attach an e-mail in
another e-mail?
Thank you in advance. :)
Probably because they use different formats for saving email to file,
and use those same formats when attaching an email as a file. Save an
email to file from SeaMonkey, open it in a text editor (e.g. notepad)
and it will be fairly easy to read the headers, and the main content
provided it's not base64 encoded or similar. Basically you get it in a
format similar to how it's sent via SMTP. Do the same in Outlook, and
you'll see that it's some sort of binary format.
The incompatibility might also work the other way, i.e. an email
attached in Outlook may not be readable in SeaMonkey (or it may be that
SeaMonkey can read Outlook's format; I can't check at the moment).
It's probably more reliable to include the original email as quoted text
in the reply, which I think is the default.
Mark.
