Email attachments content-type

Hi guys,
I have one process that starts with an email agent. When I send an email with a txt file in attachment the email agent set the content-type to "text/plain" but if i send an email with a lst extension file the email agent set the content-type to "application/octet-stream". I need that the email agent set the content-type "text/plain" to the files with lst extensions.
BPEL version 10.1.3.5.
Any idea?
regards

Hi,
we don't found the solution for this problem but a workaround that resolve - temporarily - our problem...
- first we source in different places how to set mimtype content. Unfortunately we don't found were BPEL/SOA take the value to attribute the mimetype of a specific file (we change the mimetype content of operation system - Windows/Linux -, JVM, SOA and others).
- we discover that MailActivationAgent convert unknown file extensions to application/octect content-type.
- with this info, we implemented into our BPEL flow a Java Embeded to re-convert the file content (using this reference: ora:readFile returns strange string
Now we are sourcing for a specific solution: this Java Embeded workaround don't accept setting a different charset. If we have different characters this cause a problem when file are re-converted. But, for now, this workaround resolve our problem.

  • How to add [Thunderbird] Attachments content type action to list

    Thunderbird, Linux. Attachments. There is only one entry: Microsoft word documents. I want to add
    other attachment types, like .jpg (open with Gwenview) and so on, but I don't know how to add anything
    to the list.
    When I snapped on the "Post Question" box below this, it added a "troubleshooter" which was no help whatsoever.
    Please just tell me in English how to do this.
    Thanx.

    WPQ2FormCtx.ItemContentTypeId will give the content type ID of the item in each of the forms newform.aspx, ediform.aspx and displayform.aspx. You can also use WPQ2FormCtx.ItemContentTypeName, if you want to compare name instead of Id. Here is a JQuery
    code to hide fields in the forms:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
        if(WPQ2FormCtx.ItemContentTypeId == '0x010400C36D463A4788AD4AAF5F85C02DA29F8E') {
        $("h3.ms-standardheader:contains('Body')").closest("tr").hide();
    </script>
    Note that this script assumes the JQuery is already referenced in the site. You can place above code in Script Editor web part in each of the forms. 
    Also, beware that this way you can hide the field from UI, but user can still open the page source and find the actual information in the hidden field. 
    If the requirement is to completely hide the field data then you will need to set the field properties like showInEditForm, showInDisplayForm and showInNewForm

  • Can I create an email message content type?

    Just want to be able to select me email message from the New Document drop down in the library.
    It doesn't work. 
    So I tried a link content type to an email message in a document library and that doesn't work either.
    Has anyone got any ideas for this?
    Thanks.

    Hi Cameron
    I have a library that I like to put email messages into.
    But I would like to create an email message that I use all the time. So, I was hoping I could add the message as a content type and have it available in the dropdown from 'New Document', just like other Word doc content types.
    It doesn't seem to like this, gives me a message:
    So I was hoping there was a work around somehow.

  • Detecting recepient email address content type

    Hello
    I'm looking for a solution which will automatically detect recepient email host's content type..I mean HTML or Text. Is it possible to detect from email's domain name? If so, please let me know.

    ThanksNo, that is impossible. You will need to ask people what kind of mail they prefer, or simply send a multipart/alternative containing both a text/plain and a text/html version of the message.

  • How to set Content-Type of attachment?

    Does anyone know how I can set the Content-Type of an attachment of an outgoing mail?
    I use Apple Mail, and with one correspondent I have this annoying problem that he never receives any excel or word attachments that I send (and possibly other ones, too).
    Our support now says that I should try to set the Content-Type
    of the excel attachments to "Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel".
    Apple Mail seems to set it to
    "Content-Type: application/octet-stream"
    and they think that attachments with this content-type might get blocked by the mail server of my correspondent.
    Any suggestions, ideas, etc., will be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    Thanks a lot for your test.
    Unfortunately, I get
    Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
    when I try to send an excel attachment to myself.
    Below is the beginning of the email (in "source" format).
    Any ideas why you get the correct mime-type, but I don't?
    Regards,
    Gabriel.

  • Parsing email attachments using Javamail

    Hi All,
    I'm working on a multimedia application where I have to parse emails using Javamail.
    Here is a problem that i'm facing.
    When i'm receiving an attachment from icloud.com, i'm not able to get the filename whereas i'm able to get the fileSize and fileContent.
    I'm using Part.getFileName() to get the file name. and Part.getFileSize() and Part.getInputStream() to get size and the content.
    When i checked the attachment header, I could see the name encoded in ISO-8859-1.
    --Boundary_(ID_kS5Ng+OB35IVBfC+scPoMA)
    Content-id:[email protected]
    Content-type:image/jpeg;
    name*1*=utf-8"%20%32%33%30%32%32%30%31%33%37%32%35;
    name*2*=%2E%6A%70%67
    Content-transfer-encoding:BASE64
    Content-disposition:inline;
    filename*1*=utf-8"%20%32%33%30%32%32%%30%32%33%37%32%35
    filename*2*=%2E%6A%70%67
    In both the cases above, Part.getFileName() is returning null.
    I set the parameter mail.mime.decodeparameters="true".Still it is not working.
    It would be great if someone can suggest a solution for this.
    Thanks
    Shyama

    Just adding to the problem description:
    --Boundary_(ID_kzWHPgILjZtH2UtdriatGg)
    Content-id: <[email protected]>
    Content-type: image/jpeg; name*1*=ISO-8859-1''%32%2E%6A%70%67
    Content-transfer-encoding: BASE64
    Content-disposition: inline; filename*1*=ISO-8859-1''%32%2E%6A%70%67
    This is the header which could see in another mail.

  • I am losing my carriage returns when sending emails. How to keep? uses SMTP Email MIME Text Content-Type.vi

    I am losing my carriage returns when sending emails using the Internet email vi's.
    All carriage returns are stripped out and I get one long word wrapped paragraph.
    I want to avoid html.
    Ideally, using the vi's for rich text would be perfect, but a simple text message with carriage returns and line feeds in any font ok. 
    uses SMTP Email MIME Text Content-Type.vi
    i have tried text/plain, text/html, and mixed yada something

    You need to use Line feed constant and then use concatenate function.See the screen shot.

  • Issue in storing email & attachments in to content repository server.

    Hi  All,
    We have done the following for storing email & attachments in to
    content repository server.
    Transaction - Activity done
    1) OAC0 - Defined the content repository folder RQ
    2) OACT - Created a category( ZSOFFHTTP1) and associated it to RQ
    3) SKPR08 - Associated ZSOFFHTTP1 to SAP OFFICE Class SOFFPHIO
    Also, updated the entry in the table SDOKPHCL against the record having
    Docuclass value as SOFFPHIO and change the category value to ZSOFFHTTP1.
    Now, we went to transaction SBWP and created a test message and sent
    an email to ( recepient address) and recip type as
    interent address.
    But when we cross checked the entry in SOOD table for this email sent
    today, we find that the value in the field is 'K' and not "A".
    We have done all the steps as per the SAP Note 530792 still the issue
    persists.
    As per the sap note 904711,SOOD-EXTCT Storage <space> directly in table
    SOC3
    K using the KPRO
    A in an archive
    Any help on this , would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & regards,

    Thanks for the answer, but my question was whether it is possible to store documents to an external content server using transaction OAOR (Business Document Navigator). Right now it is only possible to store documents to the R3 database with OAOR.

  • Name/type of downloaded email attachments is changed to attachment.ashx or something similar

    I access an email account at the site below which provides Microsoft Outlook Web access. Since the last Firefox update to version 8.0, the true name/type of email attachments that I download is changed to attachment.ashx (or attachment1.ashx etc if there are several downloaded files. This is very inconvenient. Note that the problem does not exist when downloading attachments from aol.com. There is also no problem when I use IE as browser. Version/system details below are correct.

    Outlook Web Access sends an illegal Content-Dispositon header to Firefox. This is no longer allowed in Firefox 8. Firefox 9 will have a workaround for this so that Microsoft has time to fix their software.<br>

  • Email: content-type html

    Is it possible to send an email with html content from ALSB ? If I set the content-type to 'text/html' in the transport header, the ALSB is overriding it to 'text/plain'.
    Any ideas are appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I finally could fix the issue by still using a formula column to store the html text and using the following in my control file (in bold):
    <xapi:message id="123" to="${CF_DCRD_CONTACT_EMAIL}" cc="${CP_DCRD_ADMIN_EMAIL}" bcc="[email protected], [email protected]" attachment="true" content-type="text/html"
    subject="Datacard Maintenance Agreement Number ${CONTRACT_NUMBER} "> *<content><![CDATA[${CF_FINAL_EMAIL_CONTENT}]]></content>*
    </xapi:message>
    Hope this would help someone clueless like me :-)

    pls advice
    thanks

    Hi
    Go to MN04 and select the Porg/DocType/Vendor; Input  vendor number, partner role, medium 7 and timing 1 and click on communication tab. It takes you to "Note to receipient". Add your text there and it will be sent as email bod text. <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

  • Mixed content-type in email

    Hi,
    I want to send emails in html-format. However, some clents can't decode html, but includes the message as an attachment. In this case I would like to have a text that tells the reciever to open the attachment. I have tried to laborate with Content-type: multipart/mixed, but I haven't managed to get it to work. Someone having an idea about this?

    As an addition: I'm not totally sure what mail clients will do with it, but maybe you could use a structure like that:
    +----- multipart/alternative -------+
    |                                   |
    | +--- multipart/mixed -----------+ |
    | |                               | |
    | | +- text/plain --------------+ | |
    | | | save message              | | |
    | | +- text/html ---------------+ | |
    | | | contents                  | | |
    | | +---------------------------+ | |
    | |                               | |
    | +----- text/html ---------------+ |
    | | contents                      | |
    | +-------------------------------+ |

    Actually, I'm writing a "HashMap" from servlet to applet. I have used your suggested content type "application/octet-stream" and another "appication/x-java-serialized-object" to try it. But in applet side, when I use (HashMap)in.readObject(), it always gives me a exception as:"java.util.HashMap; IllegalAccessException". Why?
    Thankd.

  • Inbound email - delete attachments/content?

    We are using ERMS to process inbound mails. Occasionally, agents  will receive unsolicited attachments which we would like (from a legal point of view) to remove from the email.
    Is there a standard solution to allow for specific email attachments to be deleted?
    BR
    Sham Haque

    I managed to delete the physical attachment
    inbound emails and their attachments are handled by KPRO (Knowledge Provider) - the field SOOD-EXTCT has the value "K" for these entries
    KPRO handles storage and access in quite a well documented fashion - if you know where to look!
    I found these 2 resources online:
    Document Management with KPro - SAP Knowledge Provider (BC-SRV-KPR) - SAP Library
    There is a list of FMs including one called SDOK_PHIO_DELETE.
    To get the PHIO ID, I followed the guide here:
    SAP Content Management - Link between SAP Objects and originals - Product Lifecycle Management - SCN Wiki
    I hope this is useful for someone else - and gives us a starting point for creating a custom report
