Entourage - non conformant mail issue

D

D

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question:

When Entourage Version 11.2.3 creates an email with one or more attachments,
and a blank message body, the MIME file it saves contains a format that
invalidates the MIME conformance; it writes "filename *="US-ASCII'

Is there a fix to have Entourage avoid writing this?

Thank you.

Yes, it is a good place. Apparently Entourage's "Send Feedback to Microsoft"
menu now works again, so you should use that too.

I don't know what you mean by "MIME file it saves" - are you exporting a
message to disk? I just sent myself an email with two PDF attachments, and
the resulting mail had three parts according to "View source":

1. an empty text/plain (rather pointlessly)

Content-type: text/plain;
charset="US-ASCII"
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit

2. the first attachment

Content-type: application/octet-stream; name="01-2006.pdf"
Content-disposition: attachment;
filename="01-2006.pdf"
Content-transfer-encoding: base64

3. the second attachment

Content-type: application/octet-stream; name="11-2005.pdf"
Content-disposition: attachment;
filename="11-2005.pdf"
Content-transfer-encoding: base64

It looks OK to me so far!

Cheers,

Chris

There is part EML file:
Please note "filename*=" in attachment section. Asterisk should not be
there.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--B_3230096914_3100112
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="US-ASCII"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

--B_3230096914_3100112
Content-Type: application/applefile;
name="SomeFile"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename*="US-ASCII''SomeFile"

Thank you.

Hi,

Can you tell us what version of Entourage & OS you are running? (I see from
your message that you are using 11.2.3, but what OS?)


I am not seeing this issue with Entourage 11.2.3 & OS 10.4.6:

Thanks for your responses. Donguz correctly pointed out the asterisk as the
culprit rendering the format to be invalidated per MIME conformance rules.

Yes, I am using Mac OS X version 10.4.2.

Thanks for your help.
