I just ran into this in fully updated Karmic. See below the heavily sanitized email. Evolution displays an attachment named "attachment.dat." When I double click on it, it is treated as a text file, which opens in gvim for me.

Hi,

Please send me any input you have for bugs and copy CCFirst CCLast,
especially for work-around, which of course should be captured in
Bugzilla as well for any bug including the Keyword *releasenote*.

FYI - Here's our working list for bugs to include in the release notes
and also see attached for the first pass draft release notes.

Regards,

I don't know how release notes are generated. Is there a place where we
collect input for specific release notes?

Thanks,

 <<RNotes.pdf>> 
Attached is an updated Release Notes draft based upon the the finalized "Team Approved for Release Notes" spreadsheet list that we worked through yesterday and today. Tomorrow's meeting will focus on determining the workarounds for the known issues included in the Release Notes. Please, if possible, take a moment before the meeting tomorrow to review the final list and be ready to speak to the workarounds. Your support on this is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

CCFirst CCLast | Senior Technical Writer | Toplevel Corporation
