Dear All,

I'm having problems using VM and accessing attachments in messages
sent from apple mail. VM just simply doesn't see the attachment and
provides no way of accessing it that I can find. In fact, it gives no
real indication there is even an attachment apart from a small glyph
which you cannot do anything with. If you hit D to show the raw data,
you can see the following -

Has anyone had similar problems wih attachments from apple mail? I
don't seem to have problems with attachments from other UMAs and this
one only appears to have started recently (within the last couple of
months I think). I have played around with the various MIME variables
in VM, but with no luck.

help appreciated as I really don't want to have to give up VM!

Tim
