That's it! Sometime over a week ago, I must have checked "Display
attachments inline" under SM's "View" and that was causing what I saw as a
problem.  I have now unchecked it and my messaging is back to normal (since
early Netscape days).

Thank you very much.

This computer stuff gets crazy when a person changes something inadvertently
and obviously does not know what was done - or how to reverse what was done.
SM is a prime example of something with so many options that remembering
your personal settings is not easy.

It does not work as you describe.
The attachment are really sent as attachments, however when you look
at the mail message (received or in the sent folder) they are *also*
displayed inline in the message.
Look in the attachment window, the .txt file is still there!

The inline attachment display is controlled by the
"view->display attachments inline" setting on the message window menu.
Turn it off when you don't like it.

Always has.

Sure, but attach a .jpg or other image. You'll see it, too, no differently 
than a text file. Your .doc or .zip are a different kind of binary file 
not normally open-able by the compose window or the message pane.

When was SeaMonkey first released?

So should new messages. Also can depend on whether or not you are sending 
plain text messages or HTML messages. Nothing new going on here.

Attach a .TXT File to New Message Recently?

2014-01-25 Thread JohnW-Mpls
WinXP & SM 2.22.1

When I create a new message and attach a .txt file, the content of that .txt
file appears in the body of the message.

If I change the attached file to a .doc or .zip: the body of the message
stays unaffected by the attachment.

When did SM start integrating attachments into new messages?

Forwarded messages are different, they have choices: in-line vs attached.
