Our company has 4 PCs all running Outlook 2003 - we have no server.
Each PC accesses the same email account at our ISP and each version of Outlook is set to not delete email from the server. Consequently everyone sees all the email for the company. Our company has several clients who use yahoo to send us data files. When received, on some PCs the emails are fine, but on others we end up with blank sender and subject fields and the data is in hex in the body of the email. I have tested this problem as follows: 1. I accessed my Yahoo account and send email to the company account with a small zip file attached - the email arrives as described above, blank headers with the attachment in hex. 2. I have also accessed the webmail version of my personal ISP email to send the same file to the company - this email arrived OK, headers and attachment intact. 3. I also sent an email from my Yahoo account with no attachment - this arrived OK. Can anyone throw any light on this? I have tried looking at the internet headers but nothing looks obviously wrong (but then I am no expert). Thanks in advance, Paulg7083 |

This is indicative of a poorly formed message on the sending side. Outlook is fairly strict in its interpretation of the MIME standards for mail. If headers are malformed or out of order, Outlook will misinterpret the message. -- Brian Tillman |

I am surprised that a large outfit like Yahoo would not be following
proper standards when formatting outgoing email. Any comments? Paul Brian Tillman wrote: paulg7083 wrote: Our company has 4 PCs all running Outlook 2003 - we have no server.

You said that several client "used" Yahoo to send data, but what mail applications do they use? Is Yahoo just the internet provider, or are they the mail application provider as well? -- Brian Tillman |
