Q:
Domino Server e-Mail Formatting
Domino Server, Lotus Mail, IFS
Using Domino Server Version (8.0.2) I have a script in the IFS that gets copied from STDIN to a temp IFS file. The temp IFS is set in ASCII ccsid=819 The body text is a 142 character, no embedded CR or LF or CRLF I use the IBM API QtmmSendMail to deliver the e-Mail. This all works great as long as I stay within Notes. As soon as anyone opens the same generated e-Mail for instance in OUTLOOK, the body text is mis-formatted. I've tried to embed 0D0A, 0D25, multiple 0D0A0D0A to no avail; the body text is still mis-formatted. I've been asked what MIME and Transfer Encoding is being used and I can't answer that question. Has anyone fallen into this trap as well???

Software/Hardware used:
System i 570

Is there any chance that you could tell us something about what “mis-formatted” means? It seems that you are only discussing the simple body of the message with no attachments. Can you say anything about what the message is? HTML? Embedded image references? Anything?

If it’s just the body of a message, MIME probably shouldn’t even get involved. The purpose of MIME encoding is essentially to ensure that no non-text bytes get passed through an SMTP server.

Thanks Tom

Misformatting is the text in the body is skewed; doesn’t line up properly; snippet below of a copy&paste out of Notes shows the staggering seen in OUTLOOK.
Yet within Notes when e-Mail gets sent, the text in the body lines up properly; readable.
There could be embedded <blanks> for each line that gets wriiten to STDOUT.

This is pure text, no attachments, no images, no HTML.
