Ok, so I'm beginning to suspect that this, along with my .sig problem, may actually be caused by post.el - a mode for emacs to edit mail. I'm going to look into this.

Some of these things were items I'd jotted down a while back, meaning to ask about them some time ago, so I'm going from memory. I don't send encrypted mail with attachments all that often, so it's been a while since I had to deal with this one specifically. Next time I run into whatever this problem was, I'll ask again. ;-) -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
