Mime Attachments in Hotmail

When I recieve mime attachments in Hotmail, the slide-show viewer shows the pictures, but the pictures won't load in the body of the email.
Microsoft's Help Center tells me to update Internet Explorer to fix the problem. Hello?? IE hasn't been supported for years, and I TOLD them I'm on Mac's Safari...
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks,
ShawnR

Hi,
Try an IE user agent.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Enable the develop bar.
Now from the menu bar again click Develope / User Agent. Try IE 8, 7, or 6.
Microsoft/Hotmail are not Mac friendly.
Check the Microsoft site to see which file types Hotmail supports.

MIME Attachments Weirdness

A co-worker sent a Quicktime move to 3 of us at mail.ourcompany.com and 2 others outside of our domain.
The 3 of us received the movie just fine, the 2 of them got MIME attachments that they couldn't read.
1 of them actually had an email address at ourcompany.com so it was resent to that address and worked just fine. Note that this user has both accounts on the same computer, but the attachment only arrived intact on his work inbox and not his personal inbox.
The other one was resent using a Gmail account from a web browser and it worked that time.
Why is Mail recognizing some MIME attachments and not others?

Mime attachments in Mail from two mac users

I've been receiving mime attachments in Tiger Mail from Ebay and members for a while and I've searched the forum for answers but haven't found a viable solution yet. I end up using TextEdit to open them. I've contacted ebay about this and they have no clue, and think it's spam even though I tell them I get them from Ebay tech support, however they do show up ok in my RCN webmail when I check there.
Anyway that's not the problem now, I was trying to troubleshoot my father's mail problem who is Panther Mail and it mysteriously stopped working for him a couple days ago both sending and receiving. However he is getting them from his webmail at SBC/Yahoo formerly Ameritech. I checked his account settings over the phone and they seemed correct to what he had before but I had him contact his provider.
They don't seem to know what's going on and wanted him to contact Apple.I had him contact them again and they finally did have him change his outgoing mail server from Ameritech to SBC/Yahoo. So he is able to send from there now but not receive emails. ( he still still sends and receives ok at his webmail site) . Since they changed the outgoing mail server however, the email he sends me (all plain text) is coming now as a mime attachment.
I've never seen this before from two Mac users using Mail and plain messages. I had him try changing back to the Ameritech outgoing sever but that still doesn't work. And again if I check my RCN webmail I can view these messages fine in the body of the email there, just not in Mail. Any ideas what may have caused this? Is it because of the Yahoo outgoing mail server? He's about givin up and has resorted to his webmail only for now. I generally like Mail but this is a pia.

<Where is it designated as a "mime-attachment" & where does the "27bytes" text appear?>
It shows mime-attachment(27bytes) just below the little plain document icon. This shows up both in the body of the email and also the little attachment drop down menu below the To / subject area.
<Also, if you go to Mail's View > Message submenu when one of these messages is open, which (if any) 'alternate' menu choices are available (not grayed out)? >
All are greyed out except Long headers and Raw source.
Here is the header info in the message if that helps any:

Mime attachments in mail

Whenever I receive emails from questions or invoices from Ebay in Mail OS10.4.7 they come as mime attachments which can't be viewed in the message unless I open them with another app like text edit . Is there something in Mail to set up to view these ? I couldn't find anything and don't believe I had this problem in Panther with ebay messages. Mail viewing preferences is set up to view HTML. Text encoding is set to automatic. Is there anything I'm missing? This doen't seem to be an Ebay problem since when I go to my webmail account the HTML message views fine there. This has been very frustrating for me as I use ebay a fair amount.
thanks, Craig

How do I open Mime attachments in emails

I keep getting mime attachements in emails from certain users and cannot view the email on my I touch. I tried looking in the settings and cannot see any settings to change that would help . Any help is greatly appreciated

Have you found a solution to open the mime attachments? I have the same problem.

SOAP Mime Attachments

I'm new to web services.. before actually getting my hands dirty.. I need to figure out some things before deciding i will undertake a project..
I'm thinking of an asynchronous setup..were clients submit batches of data to a web method...clients will poll the service for a response
(see pattern 3 > http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-asynch2/index.html)
This system must use web standards.. as more then 1 organisation will participate
this will be a mixed environment - some clients will submit data on the fly, others will send batches
Each entry in the batch will have 2 images of 3k each ...it seems that the problem is with memory allocation rather than the network performance.
I'm estimating 500 records per batch.. so a typical payload would come up to 3mb
Does using SOAP MIME attachments resolve this issue? from what i understood.. this avoids having the images loaded memory as part of the DOM tree..
would this setup even work??

Hi I'm in the same boat... can we get some help?
Thanks

Getting MIME attachments in emails

I have an iMac and am having a problem with the Mail program. Any message I get from any ebay member comes as a MIME attachment instead of the text being in the body of the email. This includes replies from ebay support. I can view the emails thru ebay's "my messages" fine but the same messages are MIME attachments in the Mail program. Any other emails from non-ebay users I get are fine. This has only started happening in the last few weeks or so.
I don't see anything in the Mail preferences having to do with MIME.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Ernie,
Just to clarify (hopefully), the emails that I am receiving with MIME attachments were not originally sent with an attachment. I have questioned those who have sent the emails and they verified that they did NOT attach any documents to the email only typed the message in the email itself. However when receiving the email in the Apple Mail program the text is now in a mime attachment not in the body of the email. Somewhere along the way, the email is getting an attachment. It has NOT always been that way so I am not sure what happened to cause this. I may try and use another mail program instead (although I do like apple's mail program) and see if there is a difference.
I can check with my ISP (RCN) and see if they added any SPAM screening although it seems strange it would only be on a emails coming from one place (ebay).
Thanks for your response.
Jane

Display of MailMan MIME attachments too wide

I follow several forums that send a daily update of the messages. The email I get has MIME attachments that are put together by the MailMan software.
In the ancient past, these attachments were not accessible in the iPad Mail program, but you had to tap on each one to see it. At least you could read each attachment (separately!) with a fair bit of vertical scrolling.
With iOS 8 two things seem to have changed. The first is that some messages have the attachments displayed and others have one displayed and the others as "Tap to Download" which means that you have to tap each attachment twice: once to download it and again to view it. Is there a way to get them all downloaded at once (the way it was before iOS8)?
The more serious problem is that when you do tap on an attachment to display it, the text is about twice as wide as the window it is shown in. This means that you have to scroll horizontally to read each individual line (as well as vertically to read the whole message but that is understandable). This makes it VERY difficult to read any message.
Again, is there a way to fix this so that the text wraps at the width of the popup display?

Double tap the screen with 3 fingers to turn the Accessibility zoom feature off.

Excel files become mime-attachments. Why?

My excel files become mime-attachments when I send them. My clients cannot open those mime-attachments. What happened? I used to be able to send excel files without any problem. Do I have a virus?

You posted this in the iPhone forum... is this actually a problem involving the MacBook Pro listed in your profile, or are you somehow getting Excel files on your iPhone and sending them from there?

I cannot open any attachments in hotmail when using firefox 4 beta

I cannot open any attachments in hotmail when using firefox, but had no problems with the attachments when using safari. I much prefer using firefox and don't want to have to change.
Can anyone help please?

Same here, firefox cannot open any attachment, the page simply refresh itself or perhaps its not refresh but some kind of ajax. But NOTHING happens at all.
Attachment downloads fine if I use IE though.

Axis 1.2 dime and mime attachments.

Hello !
i got web service which receives an attachment from .NET service as DIME , adds this attachment to it's own response and sends back to client which accepts only MIME attachments.
When client receives attachment some data seems to be lost, if original file size were 356 000 bytes , client receives only 208 000 bytes.
would be glad to hear any solutions how to solve this! ^^,
Thanks in advance !
code looks something like that :
     MyWebService service = new MyWebServiceLocator();
     MyWebServiceSoap port = service.getenotarMyWebServiceSoap(new URL(serviceurl)); // .NET setvice url
     org.apache.axis.client.Stub stub = (Stub) port;
     stub.setTimeout(1000 * 60);
     stub.setUsername(login);
     stub.setPassword(pwd);
     stub._setProperty(AxisEngine.PROP_DOMULTIREFS, new Boolean("false"));
     stub._setProperty(Call.ATTACHMENT_ENCAPSULATION_FORMAT,Call.ATTACHMENT_ENCAPSULATION_FORMAT_DIME);
     DocumentInfo dinf = port.downloadDocument(dokument_id); // gets document from .NET service
Object[] attachments = stub.getAttachments();
MessageContext.getCurrentContext().getResponseMessage().getAttachmentsImpl().setSendType(Attachments.SEND_TYPE_MIME);
try{
               AttachmentPart ap = (AttachmentPart)attachments[0]; // always returns only 1 attachment .
MessageContext.getCurrentContext().getResponseMessage().addAttachmentPart(ap);
               stub.clearAttachments();
catch (AxisFault e){
               throw e;
          }

It was a classpath issues manage to resolve it
with this additional setting :
CLASSPATH
.;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%AXISCLASSPATH%;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\xerces.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\activation.jar;

LabVIEW Mailer with MIME attachments

Here is the mailer vi i've written, it's based on the mailer vi i found in info-labview list archives, at http://labview.pica.army.mil and i have implemented MIME attachments (base64 encoding only) with some help of some LabVIEW-ers, as explained in VI info. I'd like to hear your comments and know any problems it can give.

Sorry, forgot to attach the application.
