Indy changes 'text/html' to 'text/plain' with attachments

[Patrick Reusser]

Hi there

I currently have the following problem: I like to send an e-mail using the
indy components TIdMessage/TIdSMTP. When I send the e-mail in HTML format,
it works fine. But when I add an attachment to the e-mail, the body text is
defined by text/plain and not text/html. How can I change the ContentType
tag? Is there an article in a FAQ section somewhere that handles this
problem?

Thanks for your help in advance!

You have to define MessageParts of type TIdText with the html e-mail and
then add the attachments. Look at the mail-demo. It's very self-
explanatory.

Thanks!
In the mail-demo I finally got what I was looking for. But now, I have
another problem. I also found an entry under
borland.public.cppbuilder.internet from Alfred Thomas ('Help with Indy
components', 2nd of August 2001) who obviously has got the same problem, and
it's still unanswered.
If I try to send my e-mail, the compiler catches the following error
message:
Invalid text count. TIdText must be greater than 1.

The code I use:
TIdText* idtext;//=new TIdText;
IdMsgSend->MessageParts->Add();
idtext = new TIdText(IdMsgSend->MessageParts, Memo1->Lines);
idtext->ContentType = "text/html";
idtext->ContentTransfer = "quoted-printable";

The collection count of IdMsgSend->MessageParts seems to be increased by one
using these operations.

It would be very nice, if somebody could help me!!!
Thanks again!
