I have found another example where I sent an email to myself from my iPhone. The attachment is not recognized until I change the view from plain text to original HTML. I can't see any reason for this, especially as it is not consistent. If there is a reason for it, then it would apply to all attachments, not just those from Apple clients. So I conclude that SM is not handling attachments from Apple properly. (Whether because of Apple, or because of SM). _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
