Default Invoice from Rapid electronics.

In article , Dave Plowman (News)
scribeth thus
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


I used to that the problem with RS components but it seems OK now..


PDF is a much better way for order confirmation and invoices

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?

(the e-mail confirmation is an easy way of storing what I've bought from
then if needed later - saves having to scan in the actual paper receipt
when the goods arrive)
