Email Message aren't viewable

A

admin1

I have created html formatted emails in asp.net that get sent out using
Smtpmail.Send. It creates a two part mime email message that the body
of the email does NOT viewable in Entourage. If you look at the source
it is there, but it does not show. When looking at the source of the
email.

My opinion is that because it starts off with Content-Type: text/plain;
then switches it to Content-Type: text/html; that this 2 part message
confuses Entourage.

These emails come out fine in Outlook, Apple Mail. Only Entourage can't
process them.

A two-part message won't confuse Entourage if it's constructed correctly.

That means the first Content-Type header is multipart/alternative with an
established MIME boundary, followed by your various MIME sections and their
appropriate Content-Type headers.

I've posted an example of a minimal properly-formatted multipart message at

Regardless, if the messages are constructed improperly, it's not Entourage's
fault.
