I have seen one note[1147745] in which it is described as if we are sending the Email

content type- disposition: inline this is not accepted by client as additional patch should be added.

In the note it is mentioned that need to be added new patch.

If you use the Java code of the blog, the note is not relevant for you.

Please ask your colleagues how the format has to look like, otherwise it is not possible to give advice.

Hi Bhaskar,

When I ask for more detailled information, it does not really help just to repeat, what you have already posted.

Ask the customer, what that means: "to send in MIME format"

Hi Stefan,

The customer is not giving the full information.

They just saying that the " can not read the mail'' as it is not sent in mime type.

even i am confused on this. please see the below which i got reply from customer.

Mersk has received your batch upload email at 2009-04-02 04:00:16 PM GMT+08:00 with subject report;SESEADEPOT;XXXXXX;EDIFACT;EDI. However, we are sorry to inform you that your data file cannot be uploaded because of the following error(s).

Can not read this email

This error is caused by coming mail not using MIME type so that our system cannot handle its content. Please check the e-mail and use MIME type.

Can you Please advice on this.

My advice:

Tell the customer that you cannot understand this and you need more detailled information.

Hi Bhaskar,

The module name would be : sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean and parameters would be mime.contenttype.

Hi Bhaskar,

I don't know whether you are aware or not but there is a functionality in sap where you can check whether a particular note is applicable to you or not. I am not sure of the exact details but i know something like that exists because my basis always do this check.

And regarding whether this would solve your problem or not , that only application of the note will tell.

Regards

joel
