The associated qf file...

I'm not too sure why my previously reply wasn't logged but here it is again...



I am 99.99% certain (always leave .01 as a get out clause) that sendmail is not corrupting the message.

The message is being sent as a base 64 MIME encoded message where the only item is application/octet-stream (which is MIME for binary file).

The file has a .pgp extension so the reading client needs to know what to do with those files.

When we ftp the same file from NT to Unix, the
reading agent recognizes the pgp file type and
decrypts it correctly. We would just use
that method but have not been able to find a way to automatically extract the attachment and ftp it from NT. We are doing all that manually for now. I was trying to use sendmail to get it to a file system on Unix that we could then run a procedure on to grab the attachment, decrypt it and go on.

At this point I will tell my users we cannot automate the procedure.

Thanks for your time looking into it.
