Problem with attachments
in [Visual Objects]

From: martti.toivonen on 14 Jul 2008 05:53 Using 2.8 and its (SE's) internetclasses. The problem is encoding and decoding breaks the attachments so they cannot be opened with the proper software. Acrobat reader complains about pdfs and shows only an empty document. Only the most basic notepad txts come through OK. The problem is not in the creation of pdfs, I have tried two different pdf- printers (PDF-XChange and PDFCreator) and both do perfectly good pdfs that are quite readable prior to sending. Been able to narrow the problem to ansi -setting: with ansi TRUE the email CAVO sample sends attachments OK, change it to FALSE and the problem appears. The dilemma is that I have quite a big app and cannot suddenly start using ANSI instead of OEM. The internet classes seem to offer means regulating the encoding with parameters. Do not have any idea what the right parameters should be for the encoding to be right. Help, anyone? mot
From: John Martens on 14 Jul 2008 09:33 This should help you to set ANSI on (just for a while). lAnsi := SetAnsi(TRUE) * put your coding here SetAnsi(lAnsi) John martti.toivonen(a)utu.fi schreef: > Using 2.8 and its (SE's) internetclasses.

From: martti.toivonen on 16 Jul 2008 01:32 Yes, John, you are quite right, I do not have to change the setting for all of the app, just there where I am sending the email with attachments. Somehow I think email should be sending the attachments right even with ansi set FALSE. One can test this with the sample email client, set ansi false and pdfs, docs etc will not come through right. Took me 2 workdays to discover, slow that I am and know nothing about coding of emails. mot On Jul 14, 4:33 pm, John Martens <adsl672...(a)tiscali.nl> wrote: > This should help you to set ANSI on (just for a while). > lAnsi := SetAnsi(TRUE) > * put your coding here > SetAnsi(lAnsi) > > John > > martti.toivo...(a)utu.fi schreef: > > > Using 2.8 and its (SE's) internetclasses.

From: John Martens on 16 Jul 2008 15:18 It took me quite some hours a couple of week ago when I wanted to save a file that I downloaded with cHttp. Works fine with the right ANSI setting and corrupts the file without.
