1252.0. "a binary message" by TKOV60::OOKUBO () Mon Aug 17 1992 09:24

	We usually send binary files as attachments on all-in-1 IOS.
        But I'd like to send a binary file as a single body message
	and receive it. Because my customer has been using X.400 mail 
	system which doesn't support multi part body.
	
	Does anyone know how to send a binary file as a single body
	message ?  
	Is it supported to send/receive a binary message on ALL-IN-1 IOS ? 
	
	I'd like to know ALL-IN-1's spec. Especailly I expect answers from 
	the ALL-IN-1 developers
						
	Thanks for any help.

	Yuko

1252.1	Partial Answer	SCOTTC::MARSHALL	Pearl-white, but slightly shop-soiled	`Tue Aug 18 1992 13:16`	14
	Hi, You can make a mail message out of any ALL-IN-1 document by selecting it on the EM menu, then entering MH - Modify Header. This makes the document into a message, if it wasn't already. However, I just tried it with a .EXE file, using DT RVC to get it into ALL-IN-1. The .FGN document produced by RVC could still be run as an EXE, but after doing MH it was converted to a .WPL file, and would no longer run... sigh. I tried fiddling around with the document's "handling", but couldn't stop this conversion from happening. Any other bright ideas? Scott

	I imagine you might get close by trying CAB CREATE to get you a 'document' from your binary file. Then change the TYPE to MAIL (otherwise, I suspect, it'll go as an attachment). Then, I think MH should work without converting anything. But I don't know what happens when you try Send. What's the DSAB set to? If it's set to Foreign, maybe it'll work? Otherwise change it at the same time as the TYPE? This would then move the problem to the recipient. The recipient would then have to DT SVC and edit off any header. Sorry this is all conjecture, but it'd take me hours to test all of this! grahame

	.0� and receive it. Because my customer has been using X.400 mail .0� system which doesn't support multi part body. Is that possible?? I thought that X.400 defined multi-part bodies... Therefore if their system does not, it can't be X.400. Sounds like vendors are saying "X.400 is what customers want, therefore we will call our system X.400".
