Hello Trevor!
Thanks so much for this informative message. And I suspect there are some
bugs in the Hotmail attachment setup.
But guess what - I just tested it with a private hotmail account I have. If
I send an attachment to hotmail, from my "" email setup,
the attachment shows up and so does the message!!
But if I send the attachment from my "" account, then
the message is blank!
So there is something with my configuration on the one account that is
causing it in this case :-)
So everyone...until I can figure this out...I will be mailing all my SW
List messages from ""...if this solves it I am thrilled!
Meanwhile...if any of you EVER get a blank message - remember the SW List
Archives!!
Thanks again Trevor!
Val ;-)
