Some attachments, when Apple mail puts them in an email will make it "part" of the email instead of the traditional attachment. Plain text files are one of those kinds. On the senders side, when they send an email and click on the 'paperclip' to insert and attachment, they have to click on the "Windows Friendly Attachments" checkbox in order for it to be 'attached' as opposed to included in the email itself. j On Tue, May 15, 2007 at 08:40:52PM +0300, it looks like Serta?? ??.
