Attachments not showing in Outlook XP (not a security problem)

[Jelle Hoppenbrouwers]

Hi,

For some reason my Outlook XP simply does not show attachments in (some) of
my messages. It is not a security issue; i'm talking about .html and .txt
attachments. When i use any other e-mail program (OE, webmail, etc.) the
attachments turn up fine, but Outlook simply doesn't seem to 'see' them.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

Thanks,
Jelle

Hi neo,

Thanx for your answer. Actually, come to think of it, it may be that these
messages were sent using a web-component - sent from a web-form or something
like that. And yes, the message size does reflect the existence of the
attachments...

This is the Content Boundary of such message:

----NEXT_BM_686E47CB00E941059514A22357C77C4C
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="bericht.htm"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: bericht.htm
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="bericht.htm"
Content-ID: <F4EA2309593F450FBA5486BEAE474FF0>

So the Content-ID line causes Outlook to suppress the attachments? Is there
anything I can do about that on the Outlook side?

Thanx,
Jelle
