I work on a server that processes email, and as part of that, we do some MIME parsing/encoding. I've recently had an issue arise for a message that is valid otherwise, but contains a Latin-1 character in a MIME header. Someone entered an e-mail address to multiple recipients containing a Latin-1 character, so the SMTP envelope only con...
How would I go about reading a file from a UNC path, discovering the proper MIME type, and streaming that out to a browser? It feels to me like I'm re-inventing IIS, and I'll also have to maintain my own MIME type database for each file extension. Does the above request sound reasonable, or is there a better way? I plan on streaming t...

Say I let users upload files to my server, and I let users download them. I'd like to set the mime type to something other than just application/octet-stream, so that if the browser can just open them, it does (say, for images, pdf files, plain text files, etc.) Of course, since the files are uploaded by users, I can't trust the file e...

I run PHP on IIS6. I have some PHP that successfully sends a 1KB image as an attachment on an email. When I try and attach a 500KB PDF however (having changed the Content-Type), it hangs and after a few minutes I get "FastCGI process exceeded configured request timeout" (Error Number 258 (0x80070102)). Any thoughts on why it's taking ...
Hi all, I have a MIME-encoded messages (in Maildir), that are having both base64-encoded headers (solved by lurking for related question ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/126070/decode-an-utf8-email-header ), decode('MIME-Header', $val), main body in plain text and a text/plain base64 encoded data in the body; It is said, that base64...
I'm playing around with a new C# email library and would like to test it as much as possible. I've used several POP3 email servers (e.g. Exchange, Hotmail, Gmail, etc.) to test support for the most popular email MIME formats e.g. text/plain, multipart/alternative, etc. Does anyone know if there is a repository of sample emails that I ca...
