You can't do anything about it except complain right to IpSwitch to fix it in their
next release. It's not a bug so much as functionality they either missed or skipped
over. To clarify the problem more succintly it occurs when you forward an <EMAIL
that has attachments> as an attachment. The attached EMAIL does not get recursively
decoded. IPSwitch should be aware of the problem as we have brought it to their
attention several times.
