OK... new problem here on 3.01b.  At home and the office.  I can send
attachments but I can't forward anything.

All forwarded attachments (or enclosures) show up in text format.  

In the help listing I find...

Forwarding messages

If you wish to refer a message to another person or people, then
highlight it in the folder list and click the Forward button, or press
<F>. A small dialog will open prompting you for the address to which
the message should be forwarded. If you click Edit before forwarding,
then a message editor will open allowing you to change the contents of
the message before it is sent, otherwise it will be forwarded at once.

If the message has attachments, you can choose whether or not to
forward them as part of the message by clicking the control 'labelled
Forward attachments as well'.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I see no control button labelled "Forward attachments as well".

It appears the 3.01 is not detecting any attachments.  Can anyone
verify this?

Like I said, I can send a file with an attachment to myself. But if I
forward it back to me... I get this:

--Message-Boundary-8776
Content-type: Image/GIF; name="sample.gif"
Content-disposition: attachment; filename="sample.gif"
Content-transfer-encoding: BASE64

R0lGODdh5AEEAfcAAAAAAIAAAACAAICAAAAAgIAAgACAgMDAwMDcwKbK8AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
...

What am I doing wrong????

Thanks in advance,

Phil
