Important MIME settings missing 31 Jul 2009 08:26 #494

We have recently encountered a problem with Logicity emailing PDF reports.

These are the MIME details grabbed from our SMTP relay log of an email sent from Logicity with an attachment:
----boundary_0_e31aeac6-1096-4be6-8dbc-bec22c887b32
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=vod_consumption.pdf
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

And these are the MIME details of an attachment sent by any other means:
--B_3331801349_858650
Content-type: video/x-flv; name="sxbackup.pdf"
Content-disposition: attachment;
        filename="sxbackup.pdf"
Content-transfer-encoding: base64


The Logicity app does not include two important MIME settings being, Content-disposition: attachment and filename=. Without these two the attachment does not always have a filename when it arrives in some email systems. Instead the mail system does the best it can and provides an alternative file name such as attachment.pdf, 1.2.pdf or attachment1234.pdf.

This should be an easy fix to apply. The Logicity app just needs to apply the missing attributes when sending the message with an attachment.

Would appreciate some feedback on this problem for us as it has become a show-stopper for us.

Thanks for this bug report. I have added a line of code to add a content disposition file name and am uploading a new version of Logicity to this URL:

www.logicitysuite.com/dmdocuments/SaberL...1.6.0016%20Setup.exe

Would you mind testing this new version out and see if it resolves the issue on your end? If so we will make this version live for all users to download.

Thanks again,
Adam

We are impressed!

The new version has just been installed and tested and so far it seems good.

We can only test with our mail server at this time running Scalix but all now seems well.

Thank you! A fast fix! :cheer:
