pdf or jpg not readable when received as an attachment

Post by sphere » Fri Oct 10, 2014 3:57 pm

Hi,

i'm sure someone knows and i also read somethings about attachments send with email in windows.
So i build an application around the Sarah Reichelts email library. With lots of help of friendly people here i could solve several issues.
Now emailing an pdf or jpg goes ok, but even with the used library the attachments are not readable because their not coded correct, allthough thats the message outlook/adobe reader gives me.

any solutions on this? or directions to point me at?

thanks a lot !

Please, post your script and attach one of those corrupt attachments to your post.

I was going to analyse your script, but I'm glad you found the problem already :-) Enjoy your rest!

Hi Mark,
