    <p>I have an system that is an in house solution attempting to email invoices to clients. This system works great except for one client gets .dat files instead of the nicely generated .pdf files that everyone else gets. </p> <p>I have researched the problem and many things point to issues with Outlook sending emails(not using outlook) and splitting the files because it is to large(it isn't, we can manualy send the email fine.)</p> <p>The files get renamed to something like "=_utf-8_B_Q29uc29saWRhdGVkIEludm9pY2VzIGZv.dat" instead of "1180426.pdf".</p> <p>After the headers on both files is just lines of characters that don't mean anything to me.</p> <p>the headers of the .dat files: file1</p> <pre><code> =?utf-8?B?Y2lCQmJIQm9ZU0JKYm5OMWJHRjBhVzl1Pz0NCiA9P3V0Zi04P0I/SUNZ?=\ \ =?utf-8?B?Z1YyRjBaWEp3Y205dlptbHVaeUF0SUVGc2NHaGhJRWx1YzNWc1lYUnBi?=\ \ =?utf-8?B?MjRnSmlCWFlYUmw/PQ0KID0/dXRmLTg/Qj9jbkJ5YjI5bWFXNW5JT0tB?=\ \ =?utf-8?B?a3lCVmJtbDJaWEp6WVd3Z1EybDBlU3dnS0RJd01USXRNRFF0TVRNcD89?=\ \ =?utf-8?B?DQogPT91dGYtOD9CP0xuQmtaZz09Pz0=?=" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment </code></pre> <p>file2</p> <pre><code> =?utf-8?B?YUdFZ1NXNXpkV3hoZEdsdmJpQW1JRmRoPz0NCiA9P3V0Zi04P0I/ZEdW?=\ \ =?utf-8?B?eWNISnZiMlpwYm1jZ0xTQkJiSEJvWVNCSmJuTjFiR0YwYVc5dUlDWWdW?=\ \ =?utf-8?B?MkYwWlhKd2NtOXY/PQ0KID0/dXRmLTg/Qj9abWx1WnlEaWdKTWdWVzVw?=\ \ =?utf-8?B?ZG1WeWMyRnNJRU5wZEhrc0lDZ3lNREV5TFRBMExURXpLUzV3WkdZPT89?=\ \ =?utf-8?B??=" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment </code></pre> <p>Does anyone have any idea on why this is happening?</p>

    2. COlooks like your pdf is being base64 encoded. since you can send the invoice fine manually, i suspect your mail server is to blame. have you try to use the system to send the same pdf to two clients? if one still fails, i'll suspect it's the client's mail server (receiving end)issue.

    3. COfirst, when you say "it isn't, we can manualy send the email fine", have you manually sent the file to SAME client with no problems? If yes, then read no further. I'll try to find some other solution. If not, it might be problem at client end(his mail server won't accept large attachments)? can you ask the client to check with his email service provider?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
