Receiving Internet mail with attachment

From Wang Bu@JACOBCAT to All on Mon Sep 22 06:47:52 2025

Dear all,

I don't know if anyone encountered this, but I received an internet email from someone with 3 attachments, but for some reason, when I try to individually download the attachments, Synchronet can only detect the first 2.

When I do download the entire message, I can download the entire e-mail with full headers and all 3 attachments in MIME format, though I did notice that the 3rd attachment was encoded as plain text attachment.

I'm pasting the MIME headers without the actual content:

--MP_/Q9PlwTNTq2E+0Z=NjalYpkC
Content-Type: application/winhlp
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=areafix.hlp

--MP_/Q9PlwTNTq2E+0Z=NjalYpkC
Content-Type: application/winhlp
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filefix.hlp

--MP_/Q9PlwTNTq2E+0Z=NjalYpkC
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=terry-file.txt

When I download the Internet mail, it asks me to download areafix.hlp and filefix.hlp, but it skips terry-file.txt.

I'm willing to give more information or to help troubleshoot this.

I'm using Synchronet v3.20d.

Thanks!
