RE: MAPI and EDIINT

["Jim Reitz (Exchange)" <jimre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What you are seeing is likely a default mapping being performed by some
MAPI<->MIME gateway, not "MAPI" itself. What mail server/gateway and/or MAPI
service provider are you using? Exchange Server using the Internet Mail
Connector?  Outlook with the POP3/SMTP IMEP provider installed locally?

Also -- how are you creating the application/edi using MAPI? Creating a MAPI
message with a single attachment and no body?

Hi,

Just a small question about the CommerceNet Interoperability tests -


The problem -

When using Microsoft MAPI to create an Internet mail message containing EDI
data you end up with a Multipart/Mixed message with one of the body parts
being the rfc1767 application/edi????

i.e. -

To: <edi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
From: <edi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; boundary=b1

--b1
Content-Type: Application/EDIFACT
..
..<EDI Data>
..
--b1


Is this format of message, multipart/mixed, allowed by the CommerceNet
Interoperability tests and do any/all of the Applications being tested
support it?

Cheers for your help.
