Email structure causing blank content on Hotmail 1

[Sleidia]

Hello,

Could someone be kind enough to tell me what's wrong with the email's source code displayed below?

Its content gets displayed normally seemingly everywhere with the exception of Hotmail which makes it appear totally blank.

Any idea?
(BTW, this email is constructed by some PHP code of mine)

Thanks !

Hi

Is that a typo/copy&paste problem, or the last boundary string is incomplete as in your post ?

Note, that the closing boundary string must have two trailing dashes ( - ) too.

Hi

You're right, I've just checked the source in Outlook and the boundary string is complete. So, it's just a copy/paste problem that you noticed.

Still, I don't get why it doesn't work on Hotmail

Thanks anyway

Hi

Then probably the missing closing quote ( " ) after the charset is also a copy&paste problem.

No more idea. At this point I would try to simplify the mail as much as possible ( also by sending the mail "by hand" with a [tt]telnet[/tt] client ), to see when the HotMail behaviour changes.

Thanks

I fixed the missing double quote but it wasn't what causes the problem.

It's getting frustrating

Hi

One more try. The [tt]Date[/tt] field is abit different then the one described in RFC 2822. Try to format it like this :

Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2006 05:18:00 +0200 (EET)

But this should really not cause such problem.
