Problem with a MIME email to outlook (Lotusscript)

I’m having an issue creating an email using the NotesMIMEEntity.

It works fine sending to Notes, yahoo or hotmail, but when it’s received in Outlook there’s an exclamation mark (!) at a certain point in the text. Have tested in Outlook 2000, 2003 and 2007, all the same.

It doesn’t matter what the text is, I’ve tried with the proper text and lots of different test texts, it’s always there.

An example script is:

Dim s As New notessession

Dim db As notesdatabase

Set db = s.currentdatabase

Dim stream As notesstream

s.ConvertMIME = False ’ Do not convert MIME to rich text

Set doc = db.CreateDocument

Call doc.ReplaceItemValue(“Form”, “Memo”)

Set body = doc.CreateMIMEEntity

Set stream = s.CreateStream

''This is just an example, my real text is more complex but the same occurs

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To 500

Call stream.writetext("a ")

Next

Set bodychild = body.createchildentity()

Call bodychild.SetContentFromText _

(stream,“text/html;charset=UTF-8”, ENC_QUOTED_PRINTABLE)

Call doc.send(False, “dan.king@xyz.com”)

s.ConvertMIME = True ’ Restore conversion

Anyone seen this, and now what’s going on? I’ve also tried with different content types and encoding, same thing

Cheers

Subject: Problem with a MIME email to outlook (Lotusscript)

I’m having the same problem. Anybody have a resolution to this? Using a lotus script as indicated and it puts a bunch of question marks (?) and exclamation points (!) throughout the message.

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.
