Hi,

I am sending emails w/ attachments via SMTP with mailbee. My recipient throws the following error:
Invalid Content-transfer encoding; Base64. Must be 7bit or "quoted-printable".

How can I force mailbee to send attachments w/ 7bit encoding?

Thank you,
Karen

MailBee Objects doesn't allow changing attachments encoding, and it's not necessary in most cases, as attachments are usually base-64 encoded and thus compliant with MIME requirements.

However, SMTP server may reject a message if it has base64-encoded body. Please make sure that you don't set BodyEncoding and/or AltBodyEncoding to 3 (this value corresponds to base64 encoding) in your application.

However, MailBee.NET Ojects allows specifying encoding for message bodies as well as for attachments.

Please let us know the outcome.

Regards,
Igor

We are REQUIRED to transmit ATTACHMENTS (not body/subject/etc) as 7bit .txt files. If the attatchment is received with Base64 encoding it will be rejected. Are you stating that this is a limitation of Mailbee and that the version of Mailbee Objects that we purchased will not allow us to meet our required specifications of transmitting attatchments with 7bit encoding?

Thank you,
Karen

That's right, it's not possible to change attachments encoding using ActiveX version of MailBee Objects. You can do it with MailBee.NET Objects only. Isn't this an option for you to move to MailBee.NET Objects?
