Attachments in Hotmail

Post by ramone_johnny »

Hi,
Were running PWB version 2.06.2 and it appears that we have an issue when trying to attach files from the local system to Hotmail. When attempting to upload a file from the local drive, an error "INVALID FILE CONTAINS AN UNSPECIFIED PATH" is displayed, then a new instance of the browser is launched and then nothing. I am yet to try Yahoo or Gmail.

The animation indicates that the file is being uploaded but does not progress.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John
What could possibly go wrong?

Are you blocking pop-ups, with any of the following?

[SecondWindow]
...
LimitCount=
OpenInParentWindow=True
DisableUnrequested=True
...

[Security]
...
ClosePopupAds=True
...

Hotmail uses a pop-up window to upload the file, if you are blocking pop-ups in any way you will get the behavior described.

PWB could always save attachments in Hotmail and Yahoo on its own.

If you referring to the ManageDL restricted save system, it still can not save attachments from Hotmail. This is the main reason we suspended development of ManageDL after talking to Microsoft and confirming the path we were following would not yield desirable results due to a bug in IE.
