How to send incoming XML as mail-attachment

Question

Hi Experts,
I have the following scenario: an incoming XML-file should be send as attachment of a mail. Now, I have defined incoming message with the structure of the xml-message and outgoing message as mail-package. In the message mapping I fill the nessesary mail-fields. In my receiver comm.channel (mailadapter) I checked "Use mail package" and "Keep attachment".
Result is that the mail is created and send ok, but without attachment....what am I doing wrong here?
Regards,
William

Hi JWD,
You should configure the mail adapter with 'use the mail adpater' and 'keep attachments'.
Create an XML file conform the XML structure provide by SAP
The mail package should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ns:MT_Mail_Sent xmlns:xi="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
<xi:Mail>
<Subject>Item</Subject>
<From>MAIL ADDRESS</From>
<To>MAIL ADRESS</To>
<Content_Type>multipart/mixed; boundary="AaBb--984dfgeSSd3532"</Content_Type>
<Content_Disposition>attachment</Content_Disposition>
<Content>
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
Content-Type: text/plain
this is sample data.
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
Content-Type: text/plain;name="CSV_data.csv"
Order number;Item number;description<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="Article_line">
<xsl:value-of select="Ord_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Item_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Description<xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:for-each>
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
Content-Type: text/plain;name="TXT_data.txt"
Order number;Item number;description<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="Article_line">
<xsl:value-of select="Ord_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Item_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Description<xsl:text> </xsl:text></xsl:for-each>
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
</Content>
</xi:Mail>
</ns:MT_Mail_Sent>
In the above example you should have some content and 2 attachments (1 csv file and 1 txt file).
After each break (AaBb984dfgeSSd3532) specify again the 'Content-Type'.
*When you want to send a message payload as described, you have to set in the mail receiver channel the parameter Content Encoding to None and uncheck Keep Attachments.
The last boundary AaBb984dfgeSSd3532 should be omitted, as the mail adapter sets that border itself (tested with SP16)*
