Hello disa gurus, can any of you help with this email-related problem. Whenever I receive emails from one particular person, Maildot seems convinced that the mail is blank except for a jpg of some clouds. However, if I use the "Save Whole Message" option and view the resulting file in a text editor it is possible to read the email's contents. The format of the emails is always the same, as shown below. (I have removed the "Received:" header lines and most of the jpg code to save on space) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Return-path: <My-friends-email-address@aol.com> > From: My-friends-email-address@aol.com > Message-ID: <59.69506c1.2d75982a@aol.com> > Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2004 02:56:26 EST > Subject: Whatever > To: dave@ravolox.demon.co.uk > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="part1_59.69506c1.2d75982a_boundary" > X-Mailer: 8.0 for Windows sub 670 > > > --part1_59.69506c1.2d75982a_boundary > Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="59.69506c1_alt_bound" > > > --59.69506c1_alt_bound > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > Blah blah blah > Blah blah blah > > > --59.69506c1_alt_bound > Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > <HTML><FONT FACE=3Darial,helvetica><HTML><BODY BGCOLOR=3D"#ffffff" WIDTH=3D"= > 72" HEIGHT=3D"100" SRC=3D"cid:X.MA0.1078214186@aol.com" BACKGROUND=3D"cid:X.= > MA0.1078214186@aol.com" DATASIZE=3D"2082" ID=3D"MA0.1078214186"><FONT COLO= > R=3D"#010101" BACK=3D"#ffffff" style=3D"BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3D2=20= > PTSIZE=3D10 FAMILY=3D"SANSSERIF" FACE=3D"Arial" LANG=3D"0">Blah > blah blah<BR>Blah blah blah<BR><BR> > </FONT></HTML> > --59.69506c1_alt_bound-- > > --part1_59.69506c1.2d75982a_boundary > Content-ID: <X.MA0.1078214186@aol.com> > Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="Clouds.jpg" > Content-Disposition: inline > Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 > > /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgAAZABkAAD/7AARRHVja3kAAQAEAAAAZAAA/+4ADkFkb2JlAGTAAAAA > > --part1_59.69506c1.2d75982a_boundary-- > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anybody able to enlighten me as to the cause, or should I just stop associating with AOL users? -- <Insert witty comment here>
