Text|HTML in Leopard

[mitchcohen]

I'm using 5.6.2 on Leopard, sending a Text|HTML message. I'm having a problem previewing the text-only version of the message in Leopard's mail client.

The sending seems to go fine. The HTML displays great in Leopard's Mail.app. In 10.4's mail, I could also view the text version by going to View->Message->Plain Text Alternative. In 10.5, that option is grayed out when viewing a MaxBulk message.

Viewing the same message sent to a 10.4 user displays the message (both HTML and Text if selected) fine.

Selecting a message sent when another person sent me an iWeb page announcement DOES show me the "Plain text alternative" option in 10.5. So the function isn't totally busted.

I do not know enough about internal mail coding, but I did a comparison which might help someone else explain (or fix) what's happening.

MaxBulk's header for the text portion:
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="ISO-8859-1"; format=flowed
Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable


Apple's header for the text portion:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=UTF-8;
delsp=yes;
format=flowed

After seeing this, I changed MaxBulk's content-type to UTF-8, but there was no change in how this worked.

Any thoughts?

I have made a test here on Leopard with current MaxBulk Mailer version. I have created this message:
