i'm using Nav5 with Outlook 2003. When creating an Email through Codeunit 397 with an Attachment, Thunderbird can´t read the Attachment (it only recieves a file called winmail.dat).

Changing the Bodyformat doesn´t have any effect. The Outlook-Window with the E-Mail is set correctly to Format 'HTML'.

Any suggestions?

    Calling CU 397: 
    Mail.NewMessage('Me@Me.com','','Subject','Body','PathToFile.pdf',TRUE);
    Within CU 397 there is this line: 
    OSendMail.BodyFormat := 2;
    No Matter what BodyFormat i choose (1 (=Text),2 (=HTML) or 3 (= RTF)): The Outlook-Windows that opens shows the correct format, but Thunderbird recieves the Attachment 'Winmail.dat'.

    The path is not the problem. When recieving the Mail in Outlook, everything is fine.

    What i wanted to say is:
    When i create a mail as mentioned above and recieve it with Outlook: all correct, the Attachment comes with this mail.
    But the same mail recieved with Thunderbird shows another Attachment called 'winmail.dat'. This is because Thunderbird can't handle E-Mails in RTF-Format.

    It makes no difference if i create the mail as HTML, text or RTF, the result is always the same.
