Folks;

sorry for being off-topic, yet this seems a place likely to find
someone who "knows": We do internally run a document management system
(proprietary, unfortunately, this is what keeps us from getting too
much things fixed ourselves...) which sends out documents to external
recipients using e-mail. We spent quite some time dealing with the DMS
vendor to get the DMS' internal e-mail creation / sending mechanisms
fixed, and yet we do have a strange problem: Some mail clients aren't
capable of displaying these mails sent automatically - they either
display the message body text as an attachment, or they don't display
anything at all.

So far, we haven't yet found what is causing this misbehaviour, given
that (taking a slight look at the raw message text) things _seem_ fine
_to me_. So, I'd kindly ask to be allowed to ask two questions on that
issue:

(a) Does anyone around here know of any sort of tool to check whether
or not an email message including attachments and all is RFC conformant
enough to be displayed in "most of the e-mail clients" out there?

(b) Is there any way of making the outbound SMTP relay (postfix 2.2.10
atop ubuntu dapper, in our case) "tidy" / clean up broken mime
messages, perhaps making use of procmail or anything like this? Even
though this would possibly interfere with the idea of "just" sending
out e-mails and not modifying them, I just thought it might be a
helpful idea here...

Thanks for your patience and bye,
Kristian
