Subject: JES5: outlook shows 'fake' attachment icon for mails originating from uwc/explorer

Hi,

Strange thing:

We are using JES5 with both UWC and outlook connector.

Mails sent from UWC in Internet explorer (dutch version) display a 'file
attachment' icon in outlook 2003 (in the header pane). In the message
pane, there's no file attachment.
Mails sent from UWC in Mozilla (dutch version) display fine in outlook
2003 (that is: no sign of a file attachment icon).

Upon further inspection, I noticed that Internet explorer generates this
type of mime header (notice the multipart/mixed)


X-Mailer: Sun Java(tm) System Messenger Express 6.3-4.01 (built Aug 32007;
32bit)
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-language: nl
Subject: test tekst
X-Accept-Language: nl
Priority: normal
Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary=--30a08e3d58b82ed92965
X-ESAFE-STATUS: Mail clean
X-ESAFE-DETAILS:

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Mozilla generates this type of mime header (ntocie the
multipart/alternative)

This (cosmetic) problem is unrelated to choosing 'pure text' or 'html
text' in the UWC message creation window.


I don't know where to look for solving this bug:


- is it outlook that is unable to correctly parse the 'multipart/mixed'
type of mail ?
- or should internet explorer generate multipart/alternative style mails ?


any ideas ?


gr,
Tom.
