Sending html mail with file attachments yields a strange message in the email client

posted by marcus 9 years ago

When I try sending an email message in html with an attached file I get this message "This message has been formatted using MIME. It does not appear that your email client supports MIME.". I've tried Gmail and Hotmail and I get the same message in both. If I send a normal text message with an attachment it works great.

Is this a limitation in the email clients, the medium or is it a bug in fEmail?

(Scratch what I said before)

It is entirely possible there is a bug in fEmail with regard to combining attachments and an HTML body. Does it work when you send HTML but don't include attachments?

Yes every other combination works.

Sending normal text mails work, text/html works and text with attachment works. It's only when I try sending html with an attachment that it fails. I'm going to try doing the same thing with Swift Mailer right now to see if that works.

Switched over to Swift Mailer and everything works with sending html emails with attachments. fEmail is so much easier to use though so a fix would be greatly appreciated :).

I finally created a way to unit test this and fixed the bug in r767.
