We have an application that uses CDO to email large quantities of data
as email attachments. We are migrating to a .Net application that does
the same using the System.Web.Mail (SMTP) functionality (as you may
have heard, CDO is not supported by .Net)
This migration has been impacting our customers. Evidently, every
attachment sent by the CDO (MAPI) application is Base64 encoded. The
..Net application, however, emails the attachments encoded either as
plain text (7 bit) or Base64, based on the data type. Is there some
Exchange server setting that will force the SMTP email message
attachments to also be Base64 encoded?
