MQSeries.net :: View topic - Sendmail with attachments "boundary problem"

Recently we ran over a strange behavior in the sendmail-plug-in. We previously used the plug-in for sending text-mails (without attachments) - without any problems. Now we have started to use attachments as well. There we experienced strange behaviors with various recipients. Some of them received the mail properly (e.g. gmail, lotus notes). But our company's outlook/exchange combination unfortunately embeds the attachment as html in the email-body and several partners reported that they can receive emails without attachments properly, but with attachments only base64-Text in the body or:

"<< MIME_ATTACHMENT_STRIPPED >>"

One of our partners searched for the reason and they found the same thing as we didâ€¦ the issue seems to be that the boundary-flag of the mime-part is not properly set. It is the empty string:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary=""

did anybody run over the same/similar problem?
