The content in the body of an e-mail message is lost when you process the message by using the BizTalk POP3 adapter in BizTalk Server

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario in Microsoft BizTalk Server:
  • You use the BizTalk POP3 adapter to process e-mail messages.
  • You create a new e-mail message.
  • You add a file as an attachment to the message.
  • You add content in the body of the message. For example, you embed an image in the body of the message.
  • You send the message to the e-mail address that is monitored by the BizTalk POP3 adapter.
In this scenario, the content in the body of the e-mail message is lost when the message is processed by the BizTalk POP3 adapter.

Cause

This behavior may occur because the BizTalk POP3 adapter MIME decoder incorrectly processes e-mail messages if the structure has fewer than two levels.

Workaround

To work around this behavior, add the content as a file attachment to the e-mail message. For example, to include an image in the message, add the image as an attachment instead of embedding the image in the body of the message.

Status

This behavior is by design.
