I have some correspondents that are using GroupWise as their e-mail client.
I have noted that they are usually unable to read e-mail that I send to them
that has been prepared and sent from Outlook using HTML format.
A search of this subject on the GroupWise support website turned up the
following information. I quote from their website:
<=============
The Novell GroupWise 6.5 Client and above determine that a document is to be
displayed in HTML by one of two methods.
1. The message has a first level attachment of Text.Html and the document
contains a tag like the following:
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
Note: The character set does not have to be "iso-8859-1" but it does have
to be a vaild character set. If text/html is specified without a character
set specification, the client will treat the document as plain text.
This tag tells the GroupWise client that the document is content Text/Html
and specifies a Character Set.
2. The message has a Mime.822 atachment that specifices the following:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Note: Again, the Character Set does not have to be "iso-8859-1" but it
does have to be a vaild character set. If text/html is specified without a
character set specification, the client will treat the document as plain
text.
The Novell GroupWise 6.5 and above client will only display a message in
HTML if both HTML and the Character Set are specified. HTML documents that
do not specify a character set could be a possible security violation. The
WC3 Standards Organization has some good information on the subject.
================>
When I look at the Internet header of HTML e-mail that I am sending from
Outlook, I observe the following:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_007C_01C4D7CC.91512150"
It appears to me that this is the cause of the problem. Does anyone know of
a way to have Outlook include an Internet header that would be compatible
with GroupWise, and, apparently the Internet standard?
Thanks for your help.
Jim
