Right. You can type ":attachments ?" (no quotes) into mutt to see what settings it has now. The defaults come from the system muttrc: Current attachments settings: attachments +A */.* attachments -A text/x-vcard attachments -A application/pgp.* attachments -A application/x-pkcs7-.* attachments -A message/external-body attachments +I text/plain attachments -I message/external-body These basically mean that "attachments" with a content-disposition of "inline" will not be counted as attachments, unless they are content-type text/plain; and all messages with a content-disposition of "attachment" will be counted, except for the four types listed (pgp signatures, vcards, and external-body messages). Perhaps your message with an attachment doesn't qualify under these rules. But that's why you can change the rules. :) -- -D.
