PDF Attachments and Lotus Notes 6.5 Outlook 2003

[tom_goring]

Hi,

Seam 2.1.1.GA

PDF attachments don't seem to work with the above email clients.
(My app is live and ok with other email clients)
I think it's something todo with disposition eq inline.
I've set them to disposition eq attachment and that also does not work.

Or does anyone know how you would display an inline PDF attachment anyway (I understand the idea for images etc).

I've tried the seam example and that also does not work in my email.

         <m:attachment fileName="whyseam.pdf" disposition="attachment"
                     <ui:include src="/whyseam.xhtml" />
          </m:attachment>

Any ideas ?

Hi, Still no luck with this :(

Here is my page with sample attachment:

<m:message xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns:m="http://jboss.com/products/seam/mail"
           xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
           xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
    
          <m:from name="Seam" address="[e-mail]" />
          <m:to name="Tom">[e-mail]</m:to>
          <m:subject>Try out Seam!</m:subject>
          <m:attachment fileName="whyseam.pdf">
                     <ui:include src="/mail/whyseam.xhtml" />
          </m:attachment>
          <m:body>
              <p>This example email demonstrates how easy it is to add attachments to an email!</p>
              <p>We can even display attached images inline:</p>
              <p>The attached pdf was generated by Seam's PDF library</p>
           </m:body>
</m:message>

In Outlook 2003 and Lotus notes 6.5 it does not show the attachment anywhere.

Anyone got any ideas?

Ok, I've got to the bottom of this and I think it is a seam bug.

The issue is the Content-ID on the PDF attachment.

I've made a local fix in UIAttachment to not set the contentId.
I think this should be done in the case of disposition eq attachment and not for inline

I'll raise this as a seam bug unless anyone says otherwise.

Forum Link

The reason odang's message didn't display is that it had a content-id specified, which usually indicates that the attachment is displayed inline in the email i.e. an image in the actual html. This check was added in the 4 beta to eliminate a huge list of attachment images that displayed in some html emails. However, we are going to remove it until we can find a better solution that doesn't hide attachments that it shouldn't.

[norman]

Please do!

Any progress on this?

What changes did you make to the UIAttachment.java
