Well, that's odd, because for interests sake I just tried something
like this.
I started composing a message in Outlook 98. Dragged on a number
of attachments, then saved that message to an IMAP folder. I then
went and looked at the IMAP folder by hand, and it was exactly how
I'd expect it to be, a multi-part MIME message will all the
attachments correct.
So, what's different about your mail?
