Corrupt attachments - still UUENCODED

[MMJJLL]

Using Client 6.5.2, most attachments arrive just fine, but occasionally TIF and WAV files are corrupt - instead of the attachment icon, the file is displayed in 80 char strips, still uuencoded - and the corruption is visible (eg no "end" statement, or linefeeds missing).

These corrupt files only arrive from one organisation, who say, and I quote "the problems experienced are entirely down to the Lotus Notes (Domino) server used...this make (sic) of server is notorious for having problems with attachments"

Is this in any way true?

Hi MMJJLL,

There are a couple of settings in the Location document you can try.

Click the location at the bottom of the screen, example "Office" and choose Edit.
Go to the Advanced tab and then the MIME Settings tab.
For the outbound attachment method select Quoted-Printable and while you're there select AppleDouble (Base64 only) for the Macintosh setting.

If you have Mac users, they will HAVE to have this setting changed on their computers or they'll sending nothing but corrutped attachments.

Hope this helps
Frank
