Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was only referring to the feature
which allowed all mime parts to be displayed as buttons that John
referred to. When the issue with Apple Mail attachments first came up,
that was the workaround which was provided so taht you could at least
get to the attachment. I wasn't meaning to imply that it was the same
problem, only background on what John was saying. From memory, I had
to apply a patch that (Rob?) provided in order to have this
functionality. Looking through my archives, I can find references to
this issue, but not he patch. I wouldn't expect it to be directly
applicable, but was hoping ti would provide a starting point for a
temporary workaround.
