I just looked at this from home on my apple mac and instead of
attaching the attachments as attachments it appeared to have put them
in the mail as text. I am not sure if this was the doing of Apple
Mail (what I use at home) or Thunderbird (what I use at work). Would
someone be so kind as to tell me if these attachments worked ok?
