<MvSMTP> headers and .pdf attachments

[rjdelbueno]

I have a strange issue I think is related to header information when using <MvSMTP> to create emails that contain .pdf attachments.
Everything functions fine except that for users of yahoo mail (those with an @yahoo.com) email address, the attachment is not recognized as part of the email.
Is there anyone out there that would be willing to let me send you a sample email generated with my implementation <MvSMTP>?
If so, email me directly at [email protected]

Here is my current code:

<mvassign name="l.cr" value="{asciichar(13)$asciichar(10)}">

<mvassign name="l.encoded_content" value="{Encode_64('/accounts/sgi/manifests/'$ l.manifestno $'.pdf')}"><MvComment>Path of .pdf file to be attached</MvComment>

<mvassign name="l.encoded_content" value="{Chunk(l.encoded_content)}">

<MvSMTP
TO="{ l.EMAIL_TO }"
SUBJECT="{ l.EMAIL_SUB }"
MAILHOST="localhost"
FROM="{ l.EMAIL_FRM }"><MvEVAL EXPR="{
'MIME-Version: 1.0' $ l.cr
$'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=----=_NextPart_000_020D_01C3FB44.3DF09230' $ l.cr

$'X-Priority: 3' $ l.cr
$'X-MSMail-Priority: Normal' $ l.cr

$'X-MimeOLE: Produced By Southern Green Industries - www.southerngreeninc.com' $ l.cr $ l.cr
$'This is a multi-part message in MIME format.' $ l.cr$ l.cr
$'------=_NextPart_000_020D_01C3FB44.3DF09230' $ l.cr

$'Content-Type: text/plain;' $ l.cr
$' charset="iso-8859-1"' $ l.cr
$'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit' $ l.cr$ l.cr

$ l.EMAIL_BDY $l.cr$l.cr

$'------=_NextPart_000_020D_01C3FB44.3DF09230' $ l.cr


$'Content-Type: application/pdf; name='$ l.manifestno $'.pdf' $ l.cr
$'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' $ l.cr
$'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='$ l.manifestno $'.pdf' $ l.cr
$ l.cr $ l.encoded_content $l.cr$l.cr
$'------=_NextPart_000_020D_01C3FB44.3DF09230--' }">
</MvSMTP>

<MvFunction Name="Encode_64" Parameters="filename" Standardoutputlevel="compresswhitespace">
<MvASSIGN NAME = "l.file_length" VALUE = "{ file_read( l.filename, 'script', l.file ) }">
<mvassign name="l.ret" value="{crypto_base64_encode(l.file)}">
<MvFuncreturn Value="{l.ret}">
</mvfunction>

<mvcomment> Chunk </mvcomment>
<MvFunction Name="Chunk" Parameters="content" Standardoutputlevel="compresswhitespace">

<mvassign name="l.cnt" value="1">
<MvWHILE EXPR="{ l.tt LT l.length }">
<mvassign name="l.tt" value="{l.tt+1}">
<mvassign name="l.lettre" value="{substring(l.content,l.cnt,76)}">
<mvassign name="l.cnt" value="{l.cnt+76}">
<mvassign name="l.ret" value="{l.ret$l.lettre$l.rt}">
</MvWHILE>
<MvFuncreturn Value="{l.ret}">
</mvfunction>

Re: &lt;MvSMTP&gt; headers and .pdf attachments

Have you looked at Send_Email_Attachment() in the LSK?

(Of course, you may be trying to do this outside of Merchant.)

I would suspect a stray crlf that most mail servers handle without complaining.

Yes, this is outside of merchant.
I will try to find any stray crlfs, thanks for the tip.
Anybody out there good with headers care to take a look if I send you a sample email? ;)

Our CTO tested your code and it worked for him, fwiw. Could be an issue with your mail sender.

Hi Rick. Thanks.
Do you know if it was tested specifically with a receiving Yahoo.com email address?
That seems to be the only mail service that shows the issue, so it "works" most of the time, just not with yahoo on the receiving end.

I think he just sent it to himself (non yahoo) and concluded it was "Yahoo weirdness".
