[rt-users] text file attachments being stripped

[Alex Young]

It's a standard response to a ticket. So far I am drawing a blank as to where it might be stripped out of the email. The actual response is received, but without the attachment.

As it's an internal mail it's only going direct to our Exchange server, and the Exchange server is happy with all other text files and other attachments, so I'm looking at RT or something else on the Linux server stripping the files, but again, only on outbound.

You haven't provided enough info except for us to hazard guesses.  What kind of outbound mail?  Have you pinpointed where the attachment is getting stripped?  Is it after it's out of RT's hands?
