Text encoding [message #146609] Mon, 16 September 2019 08:52

Hello everybody,

We send orders by mail to one of our suppliers in EDI format. This means we send a text file as attachment with data such as article number, quantity and requested delivery date. Our supplier imports this attachment in their ERP system and send us a confirmation in return.

Using Kerio Connect our suppliers software can't import the attachments in their ERP system. When we send the same attachment using Exchange or Gmail they have no difficulties at all.

Programmers of our supplier reported that the cause of this is the text encoding of the e-mails.

When I mail the EDI-attachment from my Kerio mail address to myself (the same Kerio mail address) and view the source of the e-mail in Kerio Webmail, I'll get this:

--=-AcdFdek3sGCSQ65eibH1
Content-Type: text/plain; name="icm_10092019.txt"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="icm_10092019.txt"

When I mail the same mail from Gmail, I'll get this:

It doesn't matter which client application we use in combination with Kerio Connect Server. The result is the same with Outlook as with Kerio Webmail.

Our supplier needs the content to be encoded. (base64 for example works)

I submitted a request ticket, but your support team advised me to request this as a new feature.

Will it be possible for you to create different options for text encoding. Might be useful as well to be able to put a conditional rule. So you can change the text encoding when you send mail to address X.
