New Line Character problem in mail attachment

[Former Member]

Hi all,

my xi-box is in patch level 16. i need to send the mapped xml as a pipe delimited file(a lineitem per line) attachment to a mail id. so i use MTB to content convert the payload and attach the content as an attachment using a custom module and send the mail. Since the naming convention of the attachment (as per my requirement) says the file should be a .txt file, i 've used text/plain as the content-type.

if i open the attachment in textpad or wordpad i can see one lineitem per line; but if i open it with notepad its not the case.lineitems do not appear in separate lines but appear continuously. i 'm seeing a box character as a separator between the lineitems. i'm not able to figure it out why.

i used MTB in file adapter and content converted the payload and opened the file in notepad;it was fine.

But i'm not able to figure out why its happening with the mail attachment. If you have come across such a problem please suggest me to solve this.

Hey

usually for special characters we need to change the encoding to ISO-8859-1 and the File type to binary.i guess binary should be able to handle ur file

see if that works for you

thanx

Is there any way you can send the file in an ASCII format instead of BINARY format. In many of my resolved cases I just change from binary to ascii and it works for eg., while doing FTP.
