Malformed email with CDO.Message in ASP

[Jens]

Hello,

We have several cases where an email, send with the CDO.Message object
in ASP, is received malformed at the receiver's e-mail address.

>From the ASP code we send a html email with some tables and other html

code in it. When the message is received at the client's email address
there are some characters or text mallformed, each time at another
position in the e-mail. I know for sure that the html code is valid so
that's not the problem.

The script runs from a Windows 2003 webserver edition with IIS 6.0.
Does this problem sounds familiair to anyone?

best regards,
Jens

It would be useful if you showed your code so that we could see what you are
doing.

How reproducable is it?
If you send the exact same email to several recipients do they each get a
corrupted copy and are the corruptions the same?

Use a pickup folder configuration where the folder specified is a temporary
folder. Open the resulting eml file in outlook express. Is the content
corrupt?

Invoke the page and then open the .eml file created in c:\temp in a outlook
express. Does it look ok? Open it with notepad. Post here the headers at
the top the file and the headers preceeding the HTML body part. I'm
especially interested in Content -Type, Char-set, Transfer-Encoding.

Hello Anthony,

Thanks for your help so far.
I've changed the fields as you supposed. When I open the email in
Outlook Express it seems okay there.

As far as I can see the problems only occur at some email addresses,
because when I send the same email to different addresses it's
received good at some and mallformed at some other.

Please find some headers here:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----
=_NextPart_000_009E_01C816E9.523A6990"
X-Mailer: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.3790.2929

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

I hope you can see anything strange here?

There should be another part with the Content-Type:text/html further down
the email can I see the headers for that? What you've posted above looks
fine.
