don't blank lines separate the header from the body?
have your tried inserting one or more blank lines after the header, using
utl_tcp.crlf?

| Hi
|
| Not sure whether this is correct forum or whether I should be sending
| to an SMTP one but here goes.
|
| I have been using a generic packaged procedure, based on UTL_SMTP, to
| send emails from the database for the previous 18months and which has
| had no issues.
|
| The latest specification I've received from a customer says that the
| first line of the message body should be of the following format:
|
| ----------------------Body Start------------------
| <PART_NUMBER:PartName>
| DATA1: Data
| DATA2: Data
| ....
| ----------------------Body End--------------------
|
| However, when I compose the email body in this manner and send it,
| this first line stays in the header of the email and has slightly
| changed to be:
|
| <PART_NUMBER>: PartName>
|
| i.e. a space after the colon
|
|
| I've tried a few things to get the data to appear in the message body
| but can't get it to.
|
| Note:
| 1) If you replace line 1 with some standard characters, not ":", "<"
| or ">" and put this in line 2, both appear in the body:
|
| e.g.
|
| ----------------------Body Start------------------
| A
| <PART_NUMBER:PartName>
| DATA1: Data
| DATA2: Data
| ....
| ----------------------Body End--------------------
|
| works fine with Line1 of the body being A and Line2 of the body being
| <PART_NUMBER.
|
|
| 2) However, if you repeat line1 to line 2:
|
| e.g.
| ----------------------Body Start------------------
| <PART_NUMBER:PartName>
| <PART_NUMBER:PartName>
| DATA1: Data
| DATA2: Data
| ....
| ----------------------Body End--------------------
|
| both line1 and line2 appear in the mail header
|
|
| i.e. it seems that SMTP recognises the notation:
|
| <Text:Text>
|
| as being part of a header.
|
| I've tried emailing to different mail clients and the same thing
| occurs.
|
|
| Any ideas as to how to get this to work?
|
| Many thanks
| Andrew
