Mutt is a MIME email client, and treats everything as attachments (or nested attachments). Your message is listed as the first text/plain attachment in the list. If you attach anything else, they'll appear in the list. Emails with one "attachment" (i.e. just a message) are sent with the attachment's Content-Type in the header. Emails with multiple "attachment"s are sent with a Content-Type of multipart/mixed in the main header, and the attachments themselves are MIME-encoded. (you should probably be asking mutt-users@mutt.org, btw) -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
