Hi Folks,
Love the 6600, but in three weeks of owning, I've just discovered my first annoyance... I reckon its a bug, but maybe someone has found a fix for it.
Okay, the bug is with sending images as attachments.
- If I go to Gallery, find an image and select "Send Via Email" from the options the 6600 will create a new email message with the picture attached. If I send this to an address, the message sends fine and the picture is attached as expected.
However,
- If I go to Messages, select "New Message -> Email", create a message, add an image attachment and send it, the recipient recieves the message but the attachment is marked as a text file mime type in the header, and the client displays it as a messy text file. The file is intact, and can be saved and viewed, but the whole process is just annoying.
I initially thought that my mail server might be changing the headers somehow. So to prove this, I did the following:
- In gallery, select to send an image as before. This creates a new email. Then add another image via the "Insert -> Image" menu option. When I send this message, the recipient recieves the message... the first attachment is correctly marked as an image, but the second is marked as a text file.
I can only conclude that the Symbian Mail client has a bug whereby headers are incorrectly inserted when creating a mail with attachments from the Options menu.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or found a fix?
It isn't earth shatteringly important, but in its current state, the 6600 cannot send a correcly formatted multi-attachment mail.
Cheers
