Attachment Corruption: Fixed?

[Mike Bridge]

Hi-

Ok, I'm hoping that 0.5.8b fixes attachment
corruption for everybody. 

Don't use a StringReader for non-text attachments---use a BinaryReader instead.

Cheers,

I still get the same thing when trying to attach a pdf doc, just a characters within the email.

Here is my code if it helps
--------------------------
Dim email As New DotNetOpenMail.EmailMessage
            Dim smtpServer As New DotNetOpenMail.SmtpServer(EmailServer)
            Dim token As New DotNetOpenMail.SmtpAuth.SmtpAuthToken(EmailUserName, EmailPassword)
            'Dim token As New DotNetOpenMail.SmtpAuth.LoginAuthToken(EmailUserName, EmailPassword)
            smtpServer.SmtpAuthToken = token

            Dim toAddr As New DotNetOpenMail.EmailAddress(ToEmail)
            Dim fromAddr As New DotNetOpenMail.EmailAddress(FromEmail)

            email.ToAddresses.Add(toAddr)
            email.FromAddress = fromAddr
            email.Subject = Me.Subject
            email.BodyText = Me.Body

            For Each obj As Object In m_CcList
                Dim addr As EmailAddress = DirectCast(obj, EmailAddress)

                If addr.Name <> "" Then
                    email.AddCcAddress(New DotNetOpenMail.EmailAddress(addr.Email, addr.Name))
                Else
                    email.AddCcAddress(addr.Email)
                End If

            Next

            If Not m_AttachmentData Is Nothing Then
                Dim attachment As New DotNetOpenMail.FileAttachment(m_AttachmentData)
                attachment.ContentType = m_AttachmentContentType
                attachment.FileName = m_AttachmentName
                email.AddRelatedAttachment(attachment)
            End If

            Return email.Send(smtpServer)

Hi-

I've never tried putting an inline file as a "Related" attachment---it might work, but I don't know how widely it would be supported if it does.  And I don't think I've never received an email like that, either, come to think of it....  Instead, I generally make them "Mixed", which makes them appear in the "files" area of the email.

The example here is how I usually do it, (under "An email with a PDF attachment"):

    http://dotnetopenmail.sourceforge.net/examples.html

If you want it as a related attachment, make sure you have a "cid" and that the content type is "application/pdf". 

Cheers,
