Subject: outbound MIME attachments broken in v0.80?
Date: 05 Mar 1999 14:16:48 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <uaexrhetr.fsf@GlobeSet.Com> (raw)
NTEmacs 20.3.1 with pgnus v0.80.
I downloaded and upgraded to v0.80 yesterday and thought it was working just
fine until this morning when I tried to attach (^c-^a) my first Word doc. When
I did that, I got the following during encoding:
Fri Mar 05 10:51:29 1999: Error while decoding: (args-out-of-range ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/ 671)
Fri Mar 05 10:51:29 1999: Encoding base64...
Fri Mar 05 10:51:29 1999: Sending...
(from my *Messages* buffer)
(I haven't figured out yet why I'm getting a decoding message during encoding.)
I can send the message after the error displays, but the resulting attachment
decodes to a much smaller file that is garbage (as near as I can tell).
I also get the error attaching BMP files and pretty much anything non-textual.
I do not get this error attaching text or html files and I can decode them just
fine.
In all cases I can successfully decode binary attachments sent to me from, for
example, Outlook.
I asked Jack Vinson to try this as well -- he doesn't get the above message but
he also got garbage when he tried to decode the attachment out of his GCC
folder (Word locked up on him -- it simply refused to display anything to me).
Does this ring any bells? Is this working for anyone on the list using v0.80
with NTEmacs? Since no-one else has complained about this, I'm assuming that
this is specific to Windows (I suspect that we're a sad minority of pgnus users
:-)
