MS strips 0-byte attachments?

[G Welter]

Hi.

I checked for you. My client (Eudora 5.2) doesn't throw it away. But I checked the mail that was received snd checked by MS. When looking at the raw message, there does seem to be an attachement.

So I forwarded it back and hey, the attachment is back! So it seems that Novell Groupwise at work is at fault.

So it seems that MS worked correctly. How could I have doubted it? :-)

It doesn't do that on my system. Are you sure your email client app isn't
throwing it away? Mine left the attachment there but "gave" it some content.
