[X4U] Strange Mail behavior with attachments

[Michael Elliott]

I also just noticed that the original e-mail sent to me from my co- 
worker has no "From, Subject, Date, To" fields a the top of the e- 
mail, like every other e-mail I have does.

I made sure to go to preferences and check that ALL headers are to be  
visible.  Strange, but her e-mail to me only has:

  "	Content-Type: 	multipart/alternative; boundary="---- 
=_NextPart_001_003D_01C75CF1.62532B80""

at the top of it. No Return-Path, Received, Mime-Version, etc.

Very strange...any thoughts?

Thanks!
Michael
