Text attachments displaying inline

After converting users to the Scalix Connector (from just plain Outlook) some text attachments are being displayed inline.

The attachments show up fine in Thunderbird, and they show up fine with Outlook using POP. But they show up inline in Outlook with the Scalix Connector.

We're using Server/Connector 11.2, Outlook 2003 SP3

I've been able to duplicate this problem with the data below..

Code: Select all


EHLO mail.ourdomain.com
MAIL FROM: <test@ourdomain.com>
RCPT TO: <test@ourdomain.com>
DATA
Subject: TEST
X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.752.2)
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v752.2)
Content-Type: text/plain;
        name="test.txt";
        x-mac-creator="74747874";
        x-mac-type="54455854";
        x-unix-mode="0644"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: attachment;
        filename="test.txt"

this is data in the text file
.
QUIT




In the sample below, the data in the attachment actually shows instead of the message data.

Code: Select all

EHLO mail.ourdomain.com
MAIL FROM: <test@ourdomain.com>
RCPT TO: <test@ourdomain.com>
DATA
From: <test@ourdomain.com>
To: <test@ourdomain.com>
Subject: TEST

Did you ever get an answer to this or raised a bug request for this?

It is a complaint some users have at our setup too but then with word documents that show inside the e-mail itself.
