When I get the email conformation of an online order from Rapid, it
arrives as a blank email with HTML attachment. And the HTLM attachment
opens blank too. Looking at the HTLM file in an editor shows it to contain
code.

The email headers show:-

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Now I have got a prog to decode base 64 - but is a hassle I could do
without.

Last time I used Rapid I didn't have this problem. Wonder why they've
changed things?

Just a new mail client I suspect...it's been happening since at least
April 2008.

If you've only noticed it recently, perhaps you turned off base64
decoding in your own email client....?

Mail clients ought to be able to handle this transparently....it's
within the rules.
