Hi

I am facing a problem when i am receiving emails with calendar
file attachments. I am using Outlook 2003 as my mail client. sometimes when i
receives emails with calendar attachments, it is appearing as plain text. i
am placing at the below part of this mail.

I found that only calendar attachments with PRODID:Microsoft CDO for
Microsoft Exchange is showing like this. all other calendar attachments are
working fine

I am using dovecot as my pop3/imap server

The attachment appears as text in the body of the email as shown below.
Please do help in sorting out this issue.
