The cause of such things here is a bug in Outlook Express 4.5 for Mac. If there's a MIME part declared as HTML it prefers that to the plain text version---even if the HTML part is empty. Hotmail is one of the sources of such messages! I've seen similar things from webtv address except there the message header includes a MIME part declaration but there are no parts at all. Again OE gets confused and displays nothing. > The same message will show up fine in our SW List Archives... > > So...here is my question...is there anyone out there who can tell me why > our SW List archives can read the messages with attachments, but not > Hotmail? I know the technical reasons (in terms of RFC 821/822) but there's nothing I can do to fix it. > Do you think it has something to do with Mac versus Windows, or interlacing > versus not interlacing? Neither. It's a bug with Hotmail. > Thanks for your help - Isn't much of a help really. You'll have to badger Hotmail to correct it so that multiple MIME parts are rendered correctly.
