221811 - msg + word attachment garbled by Exchange server recipient

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[bart decrem, not checking bugmail]

I sent a short HTML message with an attached Word document to a person who's got
an Exchange server and they told me that all they saw was a garbled message and
a message saying:

"
The Microsoft Exchange Server received an Internet message that could not be
processed. To view the original message content, open the attached message.
"

I can provide the original message privately upon request since it contains
confidential information.

I was using Thunderbird 0.3, RC 2, OSX.

Bart Decrem: Can you just create a small sample message with a dumb little Word 
document and provide that instead?  Save the sent message as a .EML file and 
attach it to this bug.

See bug 236239 -- I'm curious to know if either the sent message, or the message 
on the recipient's machine, shows the attachment as "appledouble" -- that seems 
to be a common issue.  See also bug 156349, but that seems to be a very 
different problem.

unfortunately, this was so long ago, I don't maintain logs, such as  the name of
the person who experienced this problem or the file that had the problem.  :(
