[Mono-list] [Mono-dev] Help with garbled email headers when adding attachment

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi Vladimir,

Can you give us more details about why are telling the headers go wild?

>From the little you show, the headers look normal for an email with
attachments. Such emails must be of the multipart variety, and each
attachment has it's own headers prepended to them and are separated
from each other by the "boundary" lines.

Some email clients send the original text in the main-block, but some
others do the "alternate" block, as the one your example shows.

So please be more specific, for instance: What email-client are you
trying to read the sent messages? Because it may be the email-client
who is failling to decode a valid message..., And so you can try to
use other email-clients (web like gmail or desktop like evolution) to
compare...

:)
