    Hi,

    I use email application (Lotus notesR5) to send EDI documents to webMethods 6 IS.
    How do I set the content-type to “application/x-12” before sending email?

    TIA

    Are you trying to send Email using webMethods
    public services --pub.client:smtp??

    If so, there is a parameter in that service called (Attachments),Under this record set the content-type as :application/EDI or else your choice,before sending the email.

    pls check the built in services documentation to get more clue…

    HTH.

    Ram,

    What is happening when you send something now (without defining the content-type in Notes)?

    I believe IS should determine the appropriate content handler for the document based on the attachment extension.

    You can see what IS is seeing by including pub.flow:getTransportInfo in your receiving service. This will show you the protocol (SMTP) and inside of the email document will reflect the contenttype it is receiving.

    Hope this helps.

    Phil,

    i will try with that service…

    But is there any way to set content type before sending email attachement via external mail server (lotusnotes or outlook) to IS.

    RK is facing this problem.

    Thanks

    Perhaps a web search for “MIME type lotus notes attachment” will yield some useful information.

    You might have better luck getting info on this in Notes forums.
