Hi all,

I’m having some issues with ActionMailer and I’m wondering if anyone  
ever experienced the same issues? And of course, I hope that there are  
solutions for my issues.  
Currently, I experienced two:

- ActionMailer seems to word wrap the subject. Because of this, longer  
subjects are rendered with tabs in Thunderbird (giving you subjects like  
“This is a subject”) and Outlook ignores the tab (giving you subjects  
like “This is asubject”).

- This one I really can’t grasp. When creating mails with a mime-type  
multipart/alternative (exactly as stated in the tutorial), mails are  
sometimes rendered as a nice mail and sometimes with the raw body in  
mail clients. I’m experiencing this with Outlook and Hotmail (haven’t  
been able to test this in other clients). The occasion seems pretty  
random. Sometimes, the same mail is rendered good on one client, but bad  
on another and sometimes sending the same mail twice gives a good and a  
bad one on the same client. I’m not sure, but I guess it has something  
to do with the Content-Type header that ActionMailer creates. Some  
clients enclose the boundary attribute in quotes and some don’t wrap the  
line.

I really hope that someone can help!

Greetings,

Wouter
