Have the Mac person try this: |
5 |
|
6 |
Go in to Mail, Preferences -> Composing. The top preference is: |
7 |
|
8 |
Composing: Message Format: |
9 |
|
10 |
"Rich Text" is probably selected. Pick "Plain Text" instead. |
11 |
|
12 |
This is a good idea in general, but it also affects one |
13 |
specific and obscure corner case: Mac user forwarding |
14 |
a received email which includes an attachment. When |
15 |
Mac Mail forwards with Rich Text, the generated MIME has |
16 |
a tree structure that some MUAs don't handle. The |
17 |
attachment is there but the MUA won't see it. |

>Sometimes the emails never arrive (or so people claim, never happens to |
20 |
>me) |
21 |
>Sometimes her emails end up in the junk mail folder (again, never |
22 |
>happens to me) |

Can't help you there, at least not without much more info. |

The first thing I'd check, though, are the account settings |
26 |
on the Mac. Maybe there's a mismatch between the claimed |
27 |
account name (foo@×××.com) and the SMTP server (nonfoo@××××××××××.com) |
28 |
that's triggering antispam rules? |

G'luck, |
