I've created a VB6 application from which I wish to send an SMTP email. The email is sent and received fine but when attaching an Excel 2003 file, whilst this is received okay, when trying to open it file becomes corrupt... I've also tried saving the attachment and then opening it but the problem persists. Thank you for any assistance...
The attachment data must be encoded. Not all mail servers and clients are 8-bit safe.
Base64 is the most common encoding method.

We receive order requests from some customers embedded in the email body rather than an attachment. In Outlook, I can manually save the message as HTML. I configured Power Automate to create a file from the email. I'm not sure what format it is but it isn't HTML as if I saved it directly from Outlook. I've already wrote SQL code to parse the HTML message. Redoing it in this different format is problematic because the source code doesn't align like the manually saved file.
It needs to run as a cloud flow so calling an Outlook macro from PA Desktop is not a solution.
I've a big problem because some eml file that are imported in the customer repository (IBM ECM) and retrieve from IBM Content Navigator.
This client demand the opening of this kind of file to the operating system and therefore to MS Outlook.
It occurs only for some of the emails and, by exporting the email and opening it with a test editor, it becomes clear that the problem is due to a series of null characters placed as the last line of the body of the email (I've attached a screenshoot).
Is there a way to allow Outlook to view these emails correctly?
Thinderbird for example also opens these emails without problems but the custome cant use this client, only MS Outlook is permitted.
Thank you in advance

Is it possible to download email body and attachments in a file in .MSG format in Outlook Web? I am working on an Outlook 365 Web addin and I require to download entire message along with attachments in .MSG format?
Edit: Is there any open source library in .NET which does the same?
Thanks,
I have to do the same thing, but since the company I'm writting the addin for is using a version of Windows/MSOffice where the webview that the addin runs inside is handled by a IE11 process, I got OOM-error when trying to download an attachment bigger than 7MB via a EWS request (using the ews-javascript-api).
Now I'm using a IIS server to which I send the eschangeToken and EmailId and handle the download/upload of the email there via EWS-managed-api from MS.
Downloading the email as .MSG is not possible AFAIK, I download them by getting the MIME-content of the email and saving it as an .EML file.
Here MS provides some examples on how to use the ews-managed-api.
EWS cannot convert to MSG. You can try to save in the Fast Transfer Stream format using the ExportItems EWS operation (which, just like the MSG format, preserves most properties). The EML format, on the other hand, will not preserve MAPI specific properties. The FTS data can then be converted (without any loss of fidelity) to the MSG format using Redemption (I am its author - RDOSession.CreateMessageFromMsgFile / RDOMail.Import(..., olFTS) / RDOMail.Save), but since Redemption is a native COM library, that code would have to run on your server, not inside the browser.
RDOSession session = new RDOSession();
RDOMail msg = session.CreateMessageFromMsgFile(#"c:\temp\test.msg");
msg.Import(#"c:\temp\test.fts", rdoSaveAsType.olFTS);
msg.Save();
I am trying to send a report from Exchange Management Shell Exchange 2007. When I send this report to Outlook the email is formatting as expected, but when I send the email to Lotus it's losing the HTML formatting such as CSS, headings, tables and borders. The data is preserved but the formatting is incorrect.
On the other hand, when I send the message using Send-MailMessage in Exchange 2010 everything is fine even when I send it to a Lotus Notes user.
Why does this difference occur?
You're going to have to go to the Notes client, and view the MIME source of both messages and compare them using a good diff program. If one is displaying correctly, and the other is not, there will be differences, and finding out why and those differences occur should give you some clue about what is happening to break the message.
(The above is assuming that the recipient is set up to receive the message in his mailbox in MIME format. If, in fact, the user has been set up to receive messages converted to Notes rich text format, then you would have to go to the Domino server instead of the Notes client, and use the SMTPSaveImportErors setting to capture the MIME source for the two messages.)
I have been reading through the forums that it is not possible to send attachments through emails in Windows phone. Is this accurate? Is creating a web service my only option?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Unfortunatly, the current SDK (7.1.1) doesn't allow us to send email messages with attachments; all you can send is text!
The only way is to get the file content (byte array) you want to send, encode it to Base64, and just set the message text to this enconded content...
