Nigel, has anyone reported garbling of emails sent by MLK?

We use MLK to send (routed from MLK to our external SMTP server) to a list of 1000+ recipients in html + text format. Occasionally, people report that they are receiving what they think is a message in Chinese. This is (I think) sporadic, and is not consistent even within the same delivery domain.

As an example this afternoon, we sent out a 17K byte file. The copy returned to MLK from the SMTP host contains clear text with appropariate mime/multipart, Content-Type: text/plain and Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit headers.

One recipient in Switzerland complained that the message was unreadable. His return message had turned to 170K+, with Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8", Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 headers

However, a colleague of his within the same office, i.e. with presumably the same software and delivery, received the message correctly.

I have no idea where to look or if this is something which can be controlled our end. Any suggestions?

Hi Andrew

Yes, in short you should enable the "Automatic" encoding option:

To enable this:

On the Message Sending Toolbar, click the Edit button then choose "Automatic".

Note: If MLK is set to send via your email software the option is not available (as the email software will handle the encoding).
