MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / May 2008Read incoming MIME-formatted email?
Can Outlook 2003 support incoming MIME-formatted email? Thanks. > Can Outlook 2003 support incoming MIME-formatted email? Of course.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] The question should have been the following: occasionally I receive MIME formatted messages that are not recognized. Is there an option or preference that could be set that would cause this? > > Can Outlook 2003 support incoming MIME-formatted email? > > Of course. > The question should have been the following: occasionally I receive > MIME formatted messages that are not recognized. Is there an option > or preference that could be set that would cause this? The most likely cause is prior to you receiving it. Outlook is, in my experience, fairly picky about how closely to standards the MIME message conforms. If the sender's client isn't quite as picky and sends our something Outlook doesn't recognize and proper MIME, you'll see the raw encoding. That said, there is also an issue with Outlook 2003 on a Vista machine failing to decode the message when the message was addressed via Bcc. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I think you hit it...I am using Vista + Outlook 2003 and the messages in question are addressed via BCC. Previously, using XP + Outlook 2003, there was no problem. Thanks a lot for taking the time to resond. I appreciate it.

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I think I'm getting the same problem. Is there a knowledge base entry for this yet? > > I think you hit it...I am using Vista + Outlook 2003 and the messages > > in question are addressed via BCC.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> ago. >> We'll see whether or not it gets addressed. I am having the same problem or with Outlook 2003 and vista I think it is. And it is with only one contact so far. Instead of seeing it normal, I see the codes jumbled with the words.... not fun to try and read and i don't want to keep deleting my friends email w/o reading. It start when I got a sony viao (which are not worth the money - just my opinion) that had sony take off vista t but stoped when I went to back to XP. I just bought a new computer, and unfort. it runs vista too. so I am back to the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have gone through all the setting etc. I am not computer stupid either...been tinkering with computers since they were 386.... I know all the versions of windows and office... but this has baffled me. Please help... > I am having the same problem > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >> ago. > >> We'll see whether or not it gets addressed. I re-read the bulletin and will try having my friend resend the email with me not in the BCC box, hopefully it will work > I am having the same problem or with Outlook 2003 and vista I think it is. > And it is with only one contact so far.
