Why would a CSV attachment appear as text in the body?

Hi all

I've just implemented some code that emails a bunch of our clients with a CSV file attachment.

Some (not many) have got back to us complaining that they don't get an attachment at all - just the CSV text inside the body of the email. Most however are fine.

I suspect that it's different mail clients that are treating the attachment differently but I don't have enough info yet to be sure.

I'm using .NET's MailMessage class with the Attachment.CreateAttachmentFromString() method. The MIME type I'm specifying for the attachment is text/csv.

Anyone have any idea what the heck is going on?

Ta muchly

David
