sending email attachments from Linux works but not in Windows

[Heriberto Torrado]

Dear livecode programmers,

 

I'm going crazy trying to send three attachments in one email using the tsNet external function.

it works in Linux without problems (Fedora 32), but from Windows it doesn´t (Windows Server 2019). 

I get the emails from Windows, but there are no attachments.

 

I have tried a thousand things: 

 

*	Putting the Special folder to Desktop, Documents or Temporary
*	Turning “/” into “\”
*	Using non Zipped files.
*	Adding “\” or “/” to the path
*	Adding “\” or “/” in from of the name of the files

 

Nothing seems to work

 

 

Livecode Version: 9.6.0 Indy

 

Test Machines:

Fedora32 (development machine) : It works like a charm.

Windows Server 2019 (development machine): It doesn’t work.

 

This is my code.

 

-- Variables

local tUrl, tEmailMessage, tRecipient, tBody, tFrom, tTo, tCc, tSubject, tAttachments

local tSettings, tResult, tBytes, tResponseHeaders

 

-- Specify the e-mail server settings

 

-- Server

put "smtp://nwd-lnx01.networkdreams.net/" into tUrl

-- Username

put "htorrado at networkdreams.net" into tSettings["username"]

-- Password

put "thepassword" into tSettings["password"]

 

-- Enable TLS for SMTP

-- TLS seems to no work, so I put it to false (it works)

put  false into tSettings["use_ssl"] 

 

-- Body

put "Esto es una prueba de envío de ficheros adjuntos" into temailMessage

 

-- Encode the e-mail message body

put mimeEncodeFieldAsMIMEMultipartDocument(temailMessage) into tBody

 

-- Attachments (3)

put specialfolderpath("Home") into filepath

put "Questions1.zip" into tAttachments[1]["filepath"]

put "Questions2.zip" into tAttachments[2]["filepath"]

put "Questions3.zip" into tAttachments[3]["filepath"]

 

-- From, to, CC, Subject

put "htorrado at networkdreams.net" into tFrom

put "htorrado at networkdreams.net" into tTo

put "info at networkdreams.net" into tCc

put "Test" into tSubject

 

-- Encode the e-mail headers and body

mimeEncodeAsMIMEEmail tBody, tFrom, tTo, tCc, tSubject, tAttachments

put it into tEmailMessage

 

-- Make tRecipient a list of all recipients (To and Cc)

put tTo & cr & tCc into tRecipient

 

-- Send the e-mail

put tsNetSmtpSync(tURL, tFrom, tRecipient, tEmailMessage, tResponseHeaders, tBytes, tSettings) into tResult 

 

-- Check the result

if the first word of tResult is "tsneterr:" then

answer "Error" && tResult && "returned from server"

else

answer "E-mail sent"

end if
