Outlook 2000: problems with image-picture

[Ragnar Heil]

Hi,

a friend has made a new installation with his Outlook 2000.
Since this time the attached pictures (ordinary jpg or zip) are not
received correctly.

It seems that Outlook takes the picture and generates 5 different mails
out of it with this kind of body:

/TK3hBUz9AKnDesfjC/6HJSkz8IGwvbu5nito+XdClOzy7zBZ826kiMu16KUt+

I know that this issue is not popular because it was asked here a lot of
times before.

I already checked that
- mails are sent as pure text
- dont use MS Word
- it is using MIME without Text-encoding and 8 BIT

Sending attachments with Outlook went always fine, configuration was not
changed. Only difference: my friend went from DSL to ISDN.
I dont believe that the ISP limits the size of attachments.
Sending a 20kb pic didnt work either

The sender controls this, not the recipient. If you friend is getting
several messages like this, then s/he should speak to whomever sent them and
ask that they stop splitting the messages into parts.

Hi Brian,

my friend is the sender, not the recipient.
I read a lot about this issue. I am wondering why I dont get this
winmail.dat-attachment which I would expect. Anyway, it seems that
outlook creates a multi-part-message

Outlook Express was able to create split messages. I don't know for sure,
but perhaps Outlook 2000 in Internet Mode Only had this ability as well.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=259957 seems to indicate such. I'm fairly
sure Outlook 2002 and 2003 can't do this, but I haven't tested the registry
settings. You can find them at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\OMI Account
Manager\Accounts\XXXXXXXX
where XXXXXXXX is a hexadecimal value.

Hi,

Bingo! We checked now the (pop)-account-settings. There was was feature
enabled which allows to split attachments if they are larger than x kB.
Just disabled it and issue is solved!

cheers,
