Re: MIME/SMTP deleting text

I am using the MIME/SMTP packages in, if not the latest, a very recent

Sorry, could not duplicate your problem.

My guess is that somewhere along the smtp/pop/imap path there is a virus checker / phishing checker / spam checker that is removeing the links since the message is not tagged as HTML but looks like HTML.

... If I just use sendmail to mail the file then it
is correctly received. 

Sendmail may be encoding it differently.


Granted this is probably user error since the documentation for these
packages is as clear as mud,

Please feel free to contribute better documentation. Did you check the ActiveState's Cookbook and wiki.tcl.tk for examples?

I did make some small changes to your code since to make it work for me. Here is what I have.

proc SendEmail {fileName to} {

 set P [catch {
   set token [mime::initialize -canonical text/plain -file $fileName]
   smtp::sendmessage $token                 \
         -atleastone 1 \
         -servers $::MY_SMTP_SERVER \
         -header [list To $to]              \
         -header [list From $::WEB_TESTER]  \
         -header [list Bcc $::ADMIN]        \
         -header [list Subject "Header Info"]
          mime::finalize $token
 } catchResult]
 puts "$P CATCH: $catchResult"
}
