Details
this was reported from an external source, following is the information that has been submitted thus far: If the line breaks at the 75th character, and that character happens to be a period (.), the 75th character is changed to an equal sign (as Netscape always does at the end of a line) and an extra period is added. Example: http://click.mp3.com/c/n_443144294/t_hBU/u_www/promos/cinram/partners/index= ..html?lang=3Deng should be: http://click.mp3.com/c/n_443144294/t_hBU/u_www/promos/cinram/partners/index.html ?lang=3Deng --------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I've done some investigating on my end and here's what I've found out: SMTP (the mail protocol used between mail servers) adds an extra period at the beginning of any line that starts with a period. The client on the remote end is supposed to remove the extra period. The following unix shell script can be used to duplicate the problem we are seeing in Net. 6.0: #!/bin/sh ### Change the TO value to something appropriate TO="nobody@mp3.com" /usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi -oem << EOF Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: MIME::Lite 1.135 From: nma@mp3.com To: $TO Subject: quoted-printable ascii test <body> <table border=3D"0" cellpadding=3D"8" cellspacing=3D"0" width=3D"600" bgcol= or=3D"#990000"><tr><td width=3D"250" align=3D"middle" valign=3D"top"><a hre= f=3D" http://click.mp3.com/c/n_704278323/t_fZ/u_studio/artist-admin/nma/main= .html?cp=3Dnma_img"><img height=3D"354" width=3D"130" src=3D" http://images.= mp3.com/mp3s/images/mail/nmaheader.gif" border=3D"0" alt=3D"NMA!"></a><p> </td></tr></table></body> EOF
