Re: Attached image sent as "application/octet-stream"

Glad it helped. MIME has different encoding ideas (7-bit, Quoted Printable, Base64, 8-bit, binary), plus it describes the data it encodes (as an example,
part of the encoded file is Content-Type) and MIME-QP is the default for HTML messages.

It also works correctly after I revert the MIME encoding for HTML messages to Quoted Printable! Problem solved, who knows why... :-D

Thanks for the tip, Jim!

My plain text setting is as you describe, but thanks anyway. This happened when I sent messages in HTML format I have now changed the encoding from Quoted Printable to Base64, and now the files are attached properly.

Why?

Check your options under Tools/Options/Send - Mail for Plain Text settings and make sure you are using MIME-None.

I'm using OE 6 on WinXP SP2. Whenever I attach a jpeg image, the file
"Content-Type" value is set to "application/octet-stream". Is there any
way I can make OE specify the correct type, namely "image/jpeg", when
composing and sending such messages?
