TSNet and SMTP : attachment file doesn't show up [SOLVED]

I use the stack "LCMail 1.1" (with LiveCode 8.1.1 Indy on Windows 8.1) provided by Charles Warwick, without any modification.

I use a SMTP server "plain" on port 587.

It works perfectly well... However the attachment (a PDF file) is like "invisible" on the receiver side.

I've tried with Yahoo Mail (web client) and Thunderbird (desktop app)... same results : the e-mail is received, it has the correct size (the PDF file is converted in base64) but the attachment doesn't show up in the interface.

Could someone do a test on Windows and/or MacOS ?

I used a tweaked version of Charles' code for an iOS app that sends an email with a pdf attachment (and which works fine) - can you check your pdf is ok before sending it?

I have a good news.

Charles (the creator of TSNet) was kind enough to do several tests with me.

Eventually, he found the cause of the problem. It was an issue with MIME format that affects some email client.

Excellent

I've been impressed with how well Charles has been supporting people moving over to tsNet
