Hey Blake - Most email software does not treat forwards as attachments.
Netscape does mainly because it wants to send everything as HTML and a MIE
attachment. I know it can be set to text only, but that doesn't change the
programmers desire to be "cool". Personally I hate HML mail and who ever
thought that it was a good idea should be shot. This includes most, but not
all AOL users (yes I know there are lot of AOL listers, they are the good
ones). If you send HTML mail through a listserv the listserv sees it as a
MIME attachment and kills it. Not all listserv's but at least this one does.
Be nice - set your mail for text ONLY no matter what.
Thank you very much.
