Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / October 2007Problems with messages from Apple Mail
Hi everyone, I'm having trouble receiving messages with attachments from Mail users. It might have started with the new Mail under Tiger, but I'm not quite sure. Sometimes the entire message appears duplicated, the upper half only containing a textual reference to the attachment and the bottom half displaying the attachment inline. In other cases Eudora complains about "encoding errors" and suggests to fetch the attachment again from the IMAP server, which usually fixes it. In rare cases the attachment is being converted to a load of garbage characters in the body of the message. In those cases the only way to retrieve the attachment unharmed is to use the account's web interface. Now I know for certain that some of these Mail users have had ongoing complaints from Windows colleagues not receiving attachments either, which leads me to suspect that the problem is with Mail or their server. Anyone else seeing this? Is Mail broken?  SignatureCheers Martin > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Anyone else seeing this? Is Mail broken? I am seeing the first problem that you mention (the duplication problem). It only seems to happen when there are styles in the message AND an attachment. And like you, I've pinned it down to Mail users. I agree that it wasn't always this way... starting with Tiger seems about right. I haven't seen the other problems you mention, but I am using POP rather than IMAP, which may make a difference? Now, as for fixes, I don't have one, but I wish someone did....

Probably. I'm quite grateful for IMAP in this case as I can fetch messages and attachments again to fix it. Just had another case with attachments turned into garbage characters. This time I tried retrieving from the server repeatedly and the third attempt did the trick. > Now, as for fixes, I don't have one, but I wish someone did.... So do I, still wondering why Mail is in my case the only client that creates these sort of problem mails.

Maybe, if we're lucky, they'll be fixed in Leopard. But I'm not holding my breath.
