I have a client for whom I've made an app that saves its data in text
files. The data is plain text but has a specific structure and I need
to keep it intact when it's sent via email.
What we're finding is that a lot of email clients will copy text
attachments into the body of the email. Why? How do we tell
Outlook/Eudora/Hotmail/Mozilla to leave the attachment as an attachment
as the user specified?
Damn, these emails packages are trying to be too smart for their own
good. Is there a rule somewhere that if you're writing an email client
the widely-published specs for such things don't apply to you? ;)
