[SOLVED] txt attachment

[adavis]

We are having an issue with Zimbra Desktop taking a .txt attachment and injecting the text in the email rather than leaving it as an attachment. This causes an issue as the txt file is for our programmers to use. Any ideas on how stop that from happening? Any other mail client will not do so.

Thanks

You posted this in the wrong forum, I'll move it to the Desktop forum for you.

I don't have any problem adding any type of attachments. How about giving exact steps to recreate the problem and details of the operating system in use and the version of ZD you're using and whether the account is on a Zimbra server or some other type of account?

sorry about that...

user1 takes a file called test.txt and attaches it to an email and sends it to user2. User2 opens the email and finds the attachment content put in the email and no attachment file test.txt

desktop version 1.00
windows xp sp3
both accounts are zimbra accounts

Thanks

You haven't got any mail scanner or anti-virus installed on this machine have you? Sometimes products like McAfee cause problems like this.

yes we use AVG enterprise edition. I'll try "disabling" the client and see if that some how fixes it. But i don't think we install the email virus scanner on the clients because we do all the scanning prior to the email reaching them.

did you find a solution for this problem?

no we sort of just gave up on the txt being taken out of the attachment. I think it's something the zdesktop just does.

Thanks

That's not the way Zimbra Desktop works. If you think this is a problem then file an entry in bugzilla or at least give some feedback in threads that you've started so it can be followed-up.
