Hi,

I'm trying to figure out why a forwarded .eml attachment (sent from
Thunderbird, containing email txt) is incomplete when opened in
Outlook 2007. Mail store is iPlanet IMAP. The fwd'd mail and
attachment from Tbird is HTML format.
It appears that when Outlook pulls down the attachment it converts it
to .msg format and truncates all of the inline quoted text, leaving
only the last non-quoted part of the message.
I've tried various "text only" settings in both Tbird and Outlook but
the fwd'd attachment already contains HTML and I don't think those
apply to it.
The only work-around I have thus far would be to ask the senders to
Reply (changing the To: to my address) instead of Fwd from Tbird since
then Tbird places the attached email contents inline. But that's a
poor solution.

TIA,

M

Are you running a virus scanner on inbound mail? If so, disable it.

Thanks Diane, but I already tried disabling the Mcafee Desktop AV...no difference.

Cheers,

In the case of many AV programs, it is not enough to disable it. You must
uninstall it and then reinstall it without the mail scanning feature.

I'll give that a try and report.

Brian, I completely uninstalled the Mcafee AV and rebooted. Same problem. Open the email in Tbird and the inline quote text is there. Open the same message in Outlook '07 and I get an attachment which doesn't contain the inline quote text.
I've also tried setting the "Read all standard mail in plain text" option in the Trust Center...no difference.

Messages you've already received won't be corrected, but new messages should
not suffer the same problem.
