287381 - Mail attachments became garbled message when mail is sent to a Eudora 6.1 user

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[holing]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

The other party that receives my mail sent via Thunder 1.0 uses Eudora 6.1 for
Mac OS X.  Whenever I send a message with an attachment, in this example, an
EndNote (.enl) file and an MS Word doc, when reaching to their end, will turn
into garbled messages such as this:

ù«ü<âÊ/0˛RˇΩ∑º-¸˙]¥Õ{`∑f7!#t

I have changed my preferences in Thunderbird to send HTML only, and another
time, send plain text only.  The results are the same every time I asked my
Eudora user to open up the mail message that I've sent her.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add attachments, i.e. an EndNote file and an MS Word file
2.Send to Eudora user
3.Ask Eudora user to open up my mail and see the garbled message described in
details

Actual Results:  
The attachments became garbled messages

Expected Results:  
Normal attachment icons should show up on the Eudora user's mail message.
