jIHaghqu'bejtaH! choQuchqu'moHpu'!
I'll explain (in English, because I'm pressed for time a bit and
because this is rather technical and I would be using lots of
*English* words in any case). Here goes:
My email client did not show me your actual reply. I just saw the
quotes and the text "This message has attachments; click 'Attachment'
to see them." in red. When I pressed the button an empty
attachment list came up. So I replied to get to see the entire,
uninterpreted message and only then did I see your very funny reply.
Apparently Pegasus Mail v2.52/Win32 recognizes uuencoded attachments
just by "begin ###", followed by lines beginning met M (or m),
followed by "end" (maybe even the begin/end pair) in order to show
the user if a message contains attachments. The actual decoding
routine couldn't make heads or tails of the above "attachment", so it
decided there was no attachment at all. <wide-grin>
Thanks for completely making my day! ;-)
