When is send an email with some text in the email body and an

additional attachment i get weird results. The email is sent with

the example code from the tutorial:

...

Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, internetAddresses(to));

msg.setSubject(subject);

BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();

messageBodyPart.setText(content);

Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();

multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();

DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);

messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));

messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);

multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

msg.setContent(multipart);

transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());

...


If this code gets run with content = "My content" and filename

poiting to a file with content "My attachement." i read the following

mail in Outlook:



--4385343.1002617471427.JavaMail.Maier_Pe.dedorath_j2



My content

--4385343.1002617471427.JavaMail.Maier_Pe.dedorath_j2
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="d:/great_app/Classes/email.txt"



My attachement.

--4385343.1002617471427.JavaMail.Maier_Pe.dedorath_j2--



What is the reason for that? It seems as if the client cannot recognize

the fact that it is a multipart message and what the parts are.



Thanks in advance
