{bb} Email-Notification with attachment instead of text

[Katharina Wolkwitz <wolkwitz@fh-swf.de>]

Hi all,

I've got a problem with the email-notification my BigBrother-Server 1.9i is
sending to me. The mail header looks normal but in the mail body there is no
text and there is an attachment identified by my Thunderbird as
application/octet-stream.

When I open the attachement with an editor, it turns out to be more or less
normal text with some characters which the editor (edit plus in my case) isn't
able to display properly (it only show little squares).

Here's an example:

==== snip ====

[1460110]  tux-h00.fhb.fh-swf.de.procs red Di Aug  7 10:36:28 CEST 2007 Some
processes are in error

&red dhcpd >=1 - not running, requires at least 1

I've searched the support database for this phenomenon and found a reply from
Phil Clark ( http://support.bb4.com/archive/200508/msg00064.html ) stating that
BigBrother sends only text, but when I do not let the server forward the mails
to my "normal" mail-address and have a look at them directly on the server
itself the attachement is there as well...

Here are what mail shows me on the BigBrother-Server:

Does anybody have an idea how to get BigBrother to send the notification just as
text in the body of the mail?
