Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a fault of the N900 or the sending software.

I'm writing some PC software in .Net and have noticed that if the message includes multipart/alternative mime types for "alternative views" such as HTML and plaintext, then the PDF file I later attach becomes invisible to the N900 mail client.

Has anybody else experienced missing email attachments?

I don't experience this problem with Thunderbird or Outlook so am I right in thinking it may be a N900 fault?

At least I have established a potential cause now.

I look forwards to hearing your experiences in this are.

Thanks

i filed a bug about problems with mails that contain multipart/alternative a while ago.

my problem wasn't quite what you describe, but as you mention multipart/alternative, the bugs may be related.

unfortunately, the bug is still in status 'unconfirmed' and i don't see any activity.

Thanks for that tip Benny,

I'll try to get some example code up soon. It will be some days though as I have lots of paperwork to do before the end of the month.

Regards,

Wes

I've mentioned your report in a new one I've just filed: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10206

Example code is up there if you want to try it out.

i have the same problem with missing email attachments, but so far i only experience this for my cell-phone email billing, where it came with a pdf attachment.

When i look at the inbox this mail has an attachment icon next to it, but when i open the email it only shows texts, without any indication that it contains attachment and there is no options to download attachment

Thats exactly what I get with the example I have provided on the bug report - but under some circumstances you do not even get the attachment icon in the subject list view.

I've got the same problem with all attachments: pictures (they are shown in hex-format in my email), files (missing), etc...
