Dear all,
Since I use The Bat (1.60h), which I am otherwise very satisfied with, I
experience a strange and annoying problem: Attached documents
from certain sender addresses get spoilt, i.e. they arrive in an
unreadable state. In text documents, line breakes are removed; RTF and
DOC documents display not the actual text but just a couple of strange
characters. Zipped documents from the same senders arrive OK, though.
Does anyone have an idea why this happens and how it can be fixed? I
work as a translator and receive documents every day; clients already
have asked whether I really want to keep that strange email
program...
I have no idea myself, but there's an observation which might or might
not be related to the problem. Maybe someone who knows more about this
than I do will get a clue from this. Here's the "content-type" header
of a message with a "spoilt" attachment:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="----_=_NextPart_000_01C255C4.B7602E40"
And here's the "content-type" header of a message where the attachment
arrived OK:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=====================_358678532==_"
Sorry if this should have been discussed before. I can't access the
archives, since I cannot log in to Yahoo (once lost my password Yahoo
ID and got despaired with their automated procedures ever after...)
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Anselm
