Just a guess: is the email HTML formatted? I think when this happens, the message actually arrives as multipart MIME, with the HTML part probably looking the same as an attachment, and email clients are doing their thing to render it. I don't have a solution per se, but this is worth checking into. Maybe there's a way to detect this situation by examining the attachment. -- Randy
