[fetchmail] losing attachments

2002-10-17 05:41:14
Hi,
I occasionally get mail where the attachment is missing. The mail comes from Outlook clients and only happens apparantly when the attachment is done in a certain way (pasted into the body, I think). I don't use Outlook myself so I'm not sure about these different ways of attachment.

I verified by looking at syslog (numer of body octets fetchmail sees) that fetchmail fetches the message without the attachment (that is, it's not that it gets lost later by sendmail or my reader).

The server is an Exchange server (5.5). I read something in the FAQ about Exchange reporting wrong message sizes, but I thought that had been worked around some how. And, repeating, MOST messages with attachments arrive correctly.

thanks for any help,

jonathan

P.S. The message typically looks like this:
blah blah

<<...OLE_Obj...>>

blah blah
