Background attachments from Outlook user showing up as attacments in Notes.

I have a user that recieves msg from an  Outlook (Look Out) user. The Outlook user has a graphic background in his mail form (a gif file). When the msg comes into Notes Inbox, it shows up as an attachment (Paper clip). Also If the msg has an attachment, it still show the paper clip, but no attachment is attached

So u mean that msgs coming from other users(internet mails like yahoo, etc.,)  and having attachments, will show as paper clip and thier is no attachment.

Am I correct?

If the above is true, then refresh the design of the mail database.
And let us know the version of Notes.

For outlook, I think thier is setting in Outlook, where u need to change.
First we will proceed with step by step.

Check if the msgs coming from internet having attachemnts are displaying properly or not.
On the attachemnt double click and it will ask for View/launch /detach
Take necessary action and check the atach file.

If the above is success, then go for outlook testing. If it is false, then refresh design and test again.

Where is Qwaletee and Hemantha.

Did they missed by any chance or they are not aware of this problem.

Very strange...

You too have a nice weekend Mady.
I am currently working in SIngapore.

Got it. Thanks.

RanjeetRain,
> Qwaletee, what do you say? I think such an agent can be a good idea for OpenNTF, isn't it :)
Ranjeet,

I already posted a very similar agent here in the past few months.  Dumps out any MIME messages into a text file that is LMOST acceptable MIME.  (WinZip will actually treat it as a real MIME file).  Clean it up, post it to OpenNTF... sure, why not?  If you find it for me, of course!

YOur explanation of MIME options was pretty decent as well.  Notes does in fact understand content IDs.  However, there is a problem.  Even though it is an in-line file, Notes still turns it into a $File attachment; it does not leave file contents embedded in the Body MIME, it just leaves the reference.  This is similar to embedded OLE for pure NOtes mail -- it shows up as four file attachments, even though all the files are rendered in line as the OLE object.  This has bugged me since R3.
It can be an interesting idea to see how actually MHTML works. That will be a good pointer. A lot of R&D is certainly not my cup of tea. But tell me, what resource may i use to learn the way Lotus Notes renders the content. You understand that but I don't. Untill that is known, it will be a time-pass to work on something like this.
Well, I was wrong.  I found a Content-ID example that was not treated as an attachment.

I got some of my knowledge by reading the RFC, some by going over sme posts on Notes.Net.  There was one particularly enlightening post where Matt Chant shows that MS Exchange's way of handling multipart/related was out of compliance, and that Notes does not support it.  (Hope it isn't a political thing!)
