  • Receiving Internet mail with attachment

    From Wang Bu@1:103/705 to All on Mon Sep 22 06:47:52 2025
    Dear all,

    I don't know if anyone encountered this, but I received an internet email from someone with 3 attachments, but for some reason, when I try to individually download the attachments, Synchronet can only detect the first 2.

    When I do download the entire message, I can download the entire e-mail with full headers and all 3 attachments in MIME format, though I did notice that the 3rd attachment was encoded as plain text attachment.

    I'm pasting the MIME headers without the actual content:

    --MP_/Q9PlwTNTq2E+0Z=NjalYpkC
    Content-Type: application/winhlp
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=areafix.hlp

    --MP_/Q9PlwTNTq2E+0Z=NjalYpkC
    Content-Type: application/winhlp
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filefix.hlp

    --MP_/Q9PlwTNTq2E+0Z=NjalYpkC
    Content-Type: text/plain
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=terry-file.txt

    When I download the Internet mail, it asks me to download areafix.hlp and filefix.hlp, but it skips terry-file.txt.

    I'm willing to give more information or to help troubleshoot this.

    I'm using Synchronet v3.20d.

    Thanks!

    You can send or forward the email (with the 3 attachments) to rob {at} synchro {dot} net or create an issue at gitlab.synchro.net and attach the email message to the issue and I'll take a look-see.
