I know this is off the current subject., but some of you are sending
these e-mail's to the list that appear as attachments and not text.

This is even more annoying than HTML Mail.

The message appears with an empty body and attachments that have
names that start with ATT.... 

This is annoying. Many people wont read your messages because
opening attachments is a security risk.  If you want your postings
read, please use plain text e-mail and not these stupid ATT 
attachments.
