Problem with additional MIME section appended to email sent

Hi all - am stuck with this issue. Any help on the same will be highly appreciated. Please find the details hereunder.

We are currently sending out emails freom our java application to the external vendor who then faxes the details to our clients.

Currently we are facing one issue where email sent out has additional MIME section appended to it as a result of which 2 pages are faxing out instead of one. Below is the unwanted section which is getting appended each time we're sending out the email.

mail host - mail host name
send to - 81645654735/AF=ON/nocover@faxmail.com
send from -
subject - fax ID + some subject

From my application i generate an email with a pdf attachment (1 page long). The other details of my email is as follows

Vendor is saying they receive the following at there end
------=_Part_10_13393526.1231309114401
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


------=_Part_10_13393526.1231309114401

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=jpmsj-cashDate2008112919365.pdf

I need to understand from where is this additional MIME section is getting appended?

Hi Sumit, thanks for posting your problem. I'm wondering if you're able to post more information, including a code snippet showing how you're calling the InterFAX service and how you're sending your email message.
Seeing the relevant code will help me understand where the additional MIME section is coming from and if it's something being inserted by the InterFAX client code.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
thanks!
Hernan
