Sjenkins Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 we use lotus notes (domino) for our email system.. I am testing the demo and when I do a 'ps | out-chart | send-mail .....' it sends the email but when I recieve it in my inbox it has a file called 'attg4p58.dat' how is the send-mail supposed to work.. is it supposed to be attached or can it be embedded. what is the dat file.. how do I view it?
marco.shaw Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 I believe there is an issue with the current downloads where the extension of images is being stripped when sent via send-mail. I believe your email system is seeing this attachment without the extension, and is actually stripping it from the message, and putting the .dat file in there. You may be able to view the .dat file with Notepad, and that may confirm my assumption above. Contact support@online.powergadgets.com (remove ".online") for the location of an update if you are willing to test it out.
JuanC Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 We have recently fixed this issue. You can send an email to support at powergadgets dot com to request a hotfix. Apologize for the inconvenience. JuanC
Sjenkins Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Posted August 21, 2007 yes, when I open it in notepad the first few characters are png.. If I rename to .png then the file opens... So you think its a bug in the version I have?
Sjenkins Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Posted August 21, 2007 Guess we were typing at the same time... Thanks
marco.shaw Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 Yes, as Juan indicates, it is a bug. You should update. If that's a problem, I can try to provide a workaround for send-mail, but it will involve some more PowerShell code be added to your script.
