It MIME-attaches the mail...yuck!!! Why bother when all you're sending is
plain text? I really wonder about some "modern" mailers...I wish they
would just stick to RFC822 compliance or whatevevr it is.
Well, unfortunately some places can only use one e-mail
client. For example, when I am work all I have is Lotus's CCmail.
And, you'll see the nifty attachments it generates 8-) This is
why I've never sent mail to the list from work... But, for people
in my position, where you are behind a firewall that blocks POP,
it's either use a funky e-mail client or wait until you get home
;-)

P.S. I'll try to save my replying for when I'm at home...
I hate all the attachments too ;-)
