The content in the body of an e-mail message is lost when you process the message by using the BizTalk POP3 adapter in BizTalk Server
Consider the following scenario in Microsoft BizTalk Server:
- You use the BizTalk POP3 adapter to process e-mail messages.
- You create a new e-mail message.
- You add a file as an attachment to the message.
- You add content in the body of the message. For example, you embed an image in the body of the message.
- You send the message to the e-mail address that is monitored by the BizTalk POP3 adapter.
In this scenario, the content in the body of the e-mail message is lost when the message is processed by the BizTalk POP3 adapter.
This behavior may occur because the BizTalk POP3 adapter MIME decoder incorrectly processes e-mail messages if the structure has fewer than two levels.
To work around this behavior, add the content as a file attachment to the e-mail message. For example, to include an image in the message, add the image as an attachment instead of embedding the image in the body of the message.
This behavior is by design.
Consider the following scenario:
- You create an e-mail message.
- You add an attachment to the message.
- You embed an image in the body of the message.
In this scenario, the structure of the e-mail message may resemble the structure in the following table.

| L2 | multipart/related |
| L3 | multipart/alternative |

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
